Dear all,

I am currently running a large eddy simulation (so far I have only experience with RANS), and I am noticing a significant underestimation of the turbulence dissipation rate.

It was adviced I'd check the energy budget, i.e. are dissipation and production in balance. But I am a bit lost on how to do this check. How can I calculate the turbulent kinetic energy production from FLUENT?

Thanks in advance!
Cees

In the RANS sense (4th term on RHS):

To do it in the instantaneous sense is a bit tricky because of the spatial filtering in LES. You have to keep track of the filtered velocities and the influence of the SGS.

I was afraid it wouldn't be that straightforward.

Anyway, my problem is that energy dissipation is significantly underestimated compared to experiments (and RANS). So I wanted to check whether production and dissipation balance. Do you think the RANS-sense implementation can answer that? (or perhaps, do you see a more straightforward way to do the budget check? I haven't gotten around to learning all the ins and outs on LES yet. For example, is the notion that <k_t> seems to be constant in time sufficient to declare the budget closes?).
