LES Dynamic Smagorinsky Values

heisenmech · October 2, 2018, 08:53

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is any way of checking how smagorinsky constant varies (contour etc.) within a domain when dynamic smagorinsky approach is applied?

It's an output of FLUENT (I think you can find it under turbulence in the in-fluent visualization options). You can certainly make contour plots and so on, and if you prefer to use other post-processing tools I am sure you can export it too -just may not be a default value.

Hi Cees,

Thanks for the reply. I've looked into it but had no luck. How can we get the dynamic Cs values if they're not there by default?

Thanks

It is under turbulence category. In the GUI it's called "subgrid dynamic viscosity cont"

It is not a default export variable. To export it, in the gui you would go to run calculation=> data file quantities and then check it under additional quantities.Then this quantity will be saved and can be imported by your favorite post-processor. Takes only a few button clicks and 1 minute to do.
