Tempered fractional LES modeling

Abstract

The presence of non-local interactions and intermittent signals in the homogeneous isotropic turbulence grant multi-point statistical functions a key role in formulating a new generation of large-eddy simulation (LES) models of higher fidelity. We establish a tempered fractional-order modelling framework for developing non-local LES subgrid-scale models, starting from the kinetic transport. We employ a tempered Lévy-stable distribution to represent the source of turbulent effects at the kinetic level, and we rigorously show that the corresponding turbulence closure term emerges as the tempered fractional Laplacian, $(\varDelta +\lambda )^{\alpha } (\cdot )$ , for $\alpha \in (0,1)$ , $\alpha \neq \frac {1}{2}$ and $\lambda >0$ in the filtered Navier–Stokes equations. Moreover, we prove the frame invariant properties of the proposed model, complying with the subgrid-scale stresses. To characterize the optimum values of model parameters and infer the enhanced efficiency of the tempered fractional subgrid-scale model, we develop a robust algorithm, involving two-point structure functions and conventional correlation coefficients. In an a priori statistical study, we evaluate the capabilities of the developed model in fulfilling the closed essential requirements, obtained for a weaker sense of the ideal LES model (Meneveau, Phys. Fluids, vol. 6, issue 2, 1994, pp. 815–833). Finally, the model undergoes the a posteriori analysis to ensure the numerical stability and pragmatic efficiency of the model.

Robust relation of streamwise velocity autocorrelation in atmospheric surface layers based on an autoregressive moving average model

“…For the multivariate case, the vector ARMA model may be used to detect spatial information such as the inclination angle of coherent structures (Li et al 2022). For convective ASL, a new range emerges due to the buoyancy effect, as delineated by the multi-point Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (Tong & Nguyen 2015), and the combination of ARMA model and tempered fractional derivative (Samiee, Akhavan-Safaei & Zayernouri 2022) has the potential to capture the multi-scaling behaviour of structure functions. Data errors and some assumptions limit the validation of present results.…”

“…The authors used fractional derivatives on the Burgers, the Korteweg-de Vries, and the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equations [29,30]. In theoretical turbulence research, nonlocal and fractional derivatives are presently introduced to describe Reynolds shear stresses [31] and to improve Large Eddy Simulation (LES) applications [32,33].…”
