Before start a study on a complex geometry you can test your subgrid scale (SGS) model or your near wall low on a channel flow. You don't have a pressure gradient and it's very ease to test something on this kind of flow. You can find many DNS data base like the DNS form the Kawmura laboratory [[http://murasun.me.noda.tus.ac.jp/turbulence/]]. You can compare your mean velocity profile and the rms velocity with the data base.

  • Test wall model on easy configuration:

    • ...
  • Many DNS data base can be found (ex: the Kawmura laboratory [[1]]) to compare mean velocity and rms profiles

2 Testcase description

2.1 Flow configuration

2.1.1 Geometrical Parameters

  • Streamwise distance : L_{x} = 12,8 h
  • Normal wall heigh  : L_{y} = 2 h
  • Spanwise distance  : L_{y} = 6,4 h

2.1.2 Boundary condition

  • Streamwise condition : periodicity
  • Spanwise condition : periodicity
  • Normal to streamwise : two walls

2.2 Simulation details

2.2.1 mesh generation

We have done the mesh with an automatic tool (*.m4) which is composed by Nx \times Ny \times Nz = 50 \times 40 \times38. the mesh is composed by 4 blocks:

  • 2 blocks for the first cell close to the wall. (Hense, y+ can be imposed)
  • 2 blocks in the center


The aim of my study is testing a posteriori near-wall law. We are running three cases :

  • Without wall model
  • With the Spalding law [1]
  • With the Manhart et al. law [2]

The Reynodls number of the flow it's the same as Abe et al. [3] ( Re_{\tau} = 1020)[[2]]
