Hybrid RANS-LES computations of the separated flow over a wall-mounted hump are presented, which employ different grey-area mitigation techniques in the framework of a structured and an unstructured flow solver. Two zonal approaches using different synthetic-turbulence generators at the RANS-LES interface, as well as a non-zonal approach based on a shear-layer-adapted subgrid scale are compared in detail with validation data from a wind-tunnel experiment. Irrespective of the applied flow solver, the different methods are shown to be similarly effective in reducing the grey area compared to the basic hybrid RANS-LES model, and thus provide satisfying mean-flow predictions of the pressure-induced separation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
