Post-Proccesing of Large Eddy Simulation

clktp · April 21, 2015, 06:23

Hello,

I'm studying LES for large scale flows. I have some problems about post-processing of LES.

Due to my supervisor's request, I don't use openfoam post-processing tools. That's why I developed my own matlab scripts to post-process. However, I'm not sure that they are ok or not. I'll explain shortly then I'll ask some questions.

I store velocity values for every 50 time step, after a certain time (like 10000 time steps) I average them for every mesh and I obtain mean velocity. Afterwards, I obtain fluctuations.

I think so far so good. However, for the next step I have some doubts.

I need to obtain velocity variances, turbulent fluxes and spectral density, but I don't know exactly how to do it.

Can you help with this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance

Regards,

clktp

Dear taygun,

Computing rms velocities in is straightforward. You can compute the variance of your results. Remember MATLAB has commands for this jub. (var)
Although I think you should store your time dependent results in each time step, not every 50 time steps.
