In the present work, an optimization methodology to compute the best control parameters, χ and Δ, for the selective frequency damping method is presented. The optimization does not suppose any a priori knowledge of the flow physics, neither of the underlying numerical methods, and is especially suited for simulations requiring large quantity of grid elements and processors. It allows for obtaining an optimal convergence rate to a steady state of the damped Navier-Stokes system. This is achieved using the Dynamic Mode Decomposition, which is a snapshot-based method, to estimate the eigenvalues associated with global unstable dynamics. Validations test cases are presented for the numerical configurations of a laminar flow past a 2D cylinder, a separated boundary-layer over a shallow bump, and a 3D turbulent stratified-Poiseuille flow.
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.
