Hy every one, I'm trying to make an UDF to calculate the Turbulent Vicosity using the LES model in FLUENT.

Actually I would like to change the damping function near the wall, once the standard and the Werner and Wengle model can not give accurate results on the transition Re.

I want to make a damping function using the van Driest formulae, changing the Turbulent Viscosity of the LES model. For the Smagorinsky approach is done and here is the implementation:

--------------------------

DEFINE_TURBULENT_VISCOSITY(van_driest,c,t) {

const real Cs = 0.1 ; /* Smagorinsky */

/* Threads Near the Cylinder */

const int th_ds_zn_xn = 19 ;

const int th_ds_zn_xp = 21 ;

const int th_ds_zp_xn = 18 ;

const int th_ds_zp_xp = 20 ;

const int th_us_z_neg = 22 ;

const int th_us_z_pos = 23 ;

const int th_w_zn_xn = 15 ;

const int th_w_zn_xp = 17 ;

const int th_w_zp_xn = 14 ;

const int th_w_zp_xp = 16 ;

Thread *thread_check ;

face_t face_celula ;

int n ;

real y_plus ; /* Y+ */

real volume ; /* Cell Volume */

real viscosidade ; /* Turb Viscosidade */

real strain_rate_mag ; /* Strain Rate = S^2 */

real van_driest_amortecimento ; /* van Driest Damping */

/*Message("\n ***** UDF VISCOSITY ***** \n");*/

/* Y+ */

y_plus = 0 ;

c_face_loop(c,t,n)

{

face_celula= C_FACE(c,t,n);

thread_check= C_FACE_THREAD(c,t,n);

if (( THREAD_ID(t)== th_ds_zn_xn ) || ( THREAD_ID(t)== th_ds_zn_xp ) || ( THREAD_ID(t)== th_ds_zp_xn ) ||

( THREAD_ID(t)== th_ds_zp_xp ) || ( THREAD_ID(t)== th_us_z_neg ) || ( THREAD_ID(t)== th_us_z_pos ) ||

( THREAD_ID(t)== th_w_zn_xn ) || ( THREAD_ID(t)== th_w_zn_xp ) || ( THREAD_ID(t)== th_w_zp_xn ) ||

( THREAD_ID(t)== th_w_zp_xp ) )

{

y_plus = F_STORAGE_R(face_celula, thread_check , SV_WALL_YPLUS);

}

}

volume=0;

volume= pow(C_VOLUME(c,t), 0.33333333333333) ;

strain_rate_mag= 0;

strain_rate_mag=C_STRAIN_RATE_MAG(c,t) ;

/* Check if it is far from the wall, if yes, y+= 0, then there is NO van Driest damping, only the Smagorinsky model, otherwise use the van Driest model that is zero near the wall, this is the reason that must be a function of Y+ NEAGTIVE */

if (y_plus != 0)

{

van_driest_amortecimento = pow( (1 - exp( pow((-y_plus/25), 3) ) ), 0.5) ;

}

else

{

van_driest_amortecimento = 1;

}

viscosidade = pow( (Cs*volume*van_driest_amortecimento), 2)*strain_rate_mag*C_R(c,t); ;

return viscosidade ;

}

-----------------------------------------------------

My question concern the Dynamic model, how can I calculate the Leonard and the Resolved stress once I can not use

C_STORAGE_R(c,t,SV_LES_LSTRESS)

C_STORAGE_R(c,t,SV_LES_MSTRESS)

Does someone can help me???

Hi Lourival,

I am trying your Van Driest damping function in smagorinsky. Have you thoroughly tested it, does it work fine?
And I hope these numbers (i.e. const int th_ds_zn_xn = 19 ) are the wall IDs?

Thanks

Hello Lourival,

I hope you or someone else would answer my post.
I'm trying for a very long time to simulate a simple fully developed flow in a square duct (4 walls). The flow is periodic in the streamwise direction. The Re number is 10504. I'm using the LES approach with smagorinsky constant equal to 0.1. I don't know why, but the u_rms, or more precisely, the location of the peak of u_rms is in a very wrong place. According to the literature, it should be somewhere between y+=15-17, but to me it's in y+=27.
I thought that the reason could be that fluent doesn't use the van-driest damping function. So, I created udf file with the code you wrote, but now I get even a more strange thing. The turbulent viscosity on my walls becomes large instead of being zero.
What am I doing wrong?
Please help me,
Hava

Hy every one, I'm trying to make an UDF to calculate the Turbulent Vicosity using the k-omega SST model in FLUENT.

I wrote the following UDF:

/************************************************** ******************/
/* UDF that specifies a custom turbulent viscosity for SST */
/* k-omega formulation using DEFINE_TURBULENT_VISCOSITY */
/************************************************** ******************/

#include "udf.h"

}

But as I am running it it gives me the following error:

1. Note exact events leading to error.
2. Save case/data under new name.
3. Exit program and restart to continue.

Can anybody help me please?
