modelling for
rotating flows
Presentation plan
Unsteady flow,
rotation dominated dynamic,
various convection regimes
Accurate turbulence models for forced and mixed convection in rotating flows
( )u = 0 geostrophic flow
Experimental studies (Wigeland & Nagib, 1978 ; Jacquin et al., 1990) and DNS
(Rogallo, 1981)
Integral length scale in the transverse direction
becomes stronger :
< v ' ( x )v ' ( x + re x ) >
Lv = L22,1 = dr
0 < v ' ( x )v ' ( x ) >
RDT computations : maximum destabilisation occurs for /S=0.25 but /S=0.5 case =0
case (Bertoglio, 1982 ; Cambon et al, 1994)
Near the pressure side, k first increases and then decreases for strong rotation rate (complete
laminarisation of the flow)
Very sensitive to turbulence modelling (no Coriolis force on the mean flow)
DNS data available (Kristoffersen & Andersson, 1994 ; Lamballais et al, 1996 ;
Grundestam et al, 2008)
Initially proposed with Spalart-Allmaras model but could be use with other
EVM
Good predictions for U (uv) but energy k profile is coarse (at least
qualitatively)
Solution : C (1,2 )
Initially proposed for v-f model but could be use with other EVM

C 2 : Park & Chung (1999) model for spectral transfer inhibition
HS
RC : based on Howard et al (1980) model but removes its mathematical
difficiencies (non-realisability, possible blowup at finite time)
Use the generalised Bradshaw number of Spalart & Shur (1997)
=> unify rotation and curvature
Unrealistic k with Pettersson Reif (PR) but allows -f computation up to the highest
Empirical corrections Spalart (SS) and Cazalbou (Caz.) quantitatively good for all
Association with -f model prohibited
Some of them are naturally taken into account with a second order
modelling
For coarser but quantitatively good (at a cheaper cost) results at all rotation
rate : k- SST + Spalart & Shur (1997) correction or k- + Cazalbou et al
(2005) correction
