Two aspects of Large-Eddy Simulation(LES) are investigated in order to improve its performance. The first one is on how to determine the model coefficient in conjunction with a dynamic subgrid-scale model, and the second one is on a wall-layer model(WLM) which allows one to skip near-wall regions to save a large number of grid points otherwise required. Especially, a WLM suitable for a separated flow is considered. Firstly, an averaging technique to calculate the model coefficient of dynamic subgrid-scale modeling(DSGSM) is introduced. The technique is based on the concept of local averaging, and useful to stabilize numerical solution in conjunction with LES of complex turbulent flows using DSGSM. It is relatively simple to implement, and takes very low overhead in CPU time. It is also able to detect the region of negative model coefficient where the "backscattering" of turbulence energy occurs. Secondly, a wall-layer model based on a local turbulence intensity is considered. It locally determines wall-shear stresses depending on the local flow situations including separation, and yields better predictions in separated regions than the conventional WLM. The two techniques are tested for a turbulent obstacle flow, and show the direction of further improvements.rovements.

화재시뮬레이션용 소프트웨어인 FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator)의 수직벽 화재 시뮬레이션에 있어서의 문제점을 파악하기 위해, 수직벽 프로필렌 화재에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 성능기반설계 등에 널리 사용되고 있는 이 전산유체역학 모델에 포함되어있는 주요 매개변수의 기본값을 사용한 경우, 수직벽 화재에서는 정확도가 매우 낮음을 확인하였다. 프로필렌 연소율 $10.08g/m^2$-s과 $29.29g/m^2$-s에 대한 주요 매개변수의 조사를 수행한 결과, 스마고린스키 상수(Smagorinsky constant)가 기본값인 0.2에서 수직벽에 형성된 경계층이 층류로 예측되었다. 스마고린스키 상수가 0.1일 때 온도분포가 실험과 비교적 잘 일치하였으나 벽면에서의 열유속에는 큰 오차가 있음을 확인하였다.

Recent numerical simulation has a tendency to require the higher-order accuracy in time, as well as in space. This tendency is more true in LES and acoustic noise simulation. In the present work, the accuracy of a Fractional step method, which is widely used in LES simulation, has been increased to the fourth-order accurate compact Pade discretization. To validate the present code, the flow-field past a cylinder was simulated and compared with experiment. A good agreement with experiment was achieved.

As computer capacity has been progressed continuously, the studies of the flow characteristics have been performing by the numerical methods actively. Recent numerical simulation has a tendency to require the higher-order accuracy in time, as well as in space. This tendency is more true in LES and acoustic noise simulation. In this study, 3-dimensional unsteady Incompressible Navier-Stokes equation was solved by numerical method using the fractional step method with the fourth order compact pade scheme to achieve high accuracy To validate the present code and algorithm, 3D flow-field around a cylinder was simulated. The drag coefficient and lift coefficient were computed and, then, compared with experiment. The present code will be tailored to LES simulation for more accurate turbulent flow analysis.

As a computer has been continuously progressed to reduce R&D time and cost, the study of the flow physics has been significantly relied on the numerical method. Recently, Large Eddy Simulation(LES) has been widely used in CFD community to accurately capture the turbulent flows. The LES code requires high accuracy in time, as well as in space. Also, it should have strong robustness to ensure the convergence in various complicated flows. The objective of the present work is to develop a base code for LES simulation, having 2$^{nd}$ order accuracy in time and 4$^{th}$ order accuracy in space. To achieve the present objective, the four-step fractional step method was enhanced by adopting compact Pade'scheme. The standard Smagorinsky model was implemented for the first stage of the present code development. The flows over a cylinder and an airfoil were successfully simulated. and an airfoil were successfully simulated.
