Abstract: |
In many technical applications the effect
of surface roughness on the local flow as well as on
integral char-acteristics is significant.
Understanding and modeling their effect
is an ongoing challenge as there are plenty of surface structures caused by
intention, manufactur-ing, or wear which have different
or even contrary ef-fects on the boundary layer flow. Scale-resolving simu-lations
like direct numerical simulations are a valuable
tool in this context as they provide highly-resolved view of the local effect
of roughness on the flow. However, complex surface
structures pose challenges to the gen-eration of
commonly used body-fitted structured com-putational grids. Immersed boundary methods (IBM) are a
promising tool for bypassing this challenge. In this paper the IBM
implemented in the CFD-solver OpenFOAM is qualified for scale-resolving simulations of turbulent
channel flows over rough surfaces by intro-ducing an additional mass-flow
controller. By means of three characteristic test-cases
the direct numerical sim-ulations with IBM are verified against corresponding simulations with body-fitted grids. The excellent quan-titative
prediction of average flow quantities as well as
turbulent statistics demonstrate the suitability of the method for the
simulation of turbulent flows over arbi-trary complex rough surfaces. |
