Hello, all,

Do we have v2-f turbulence model implemented in OpenFoam? I checked turbulence models in src/turbulencemodel folder and there is no such model. However, I searched message board and some folks discussed the implementation of v2f model in 2005. Am I missing anything? My version is 1.4.

Thanks.

Quinn

Quinn,
here you will find an implementation of v2f (Lien/Kalitzin a.k.a. code-friendly version) I made a couple of years ago.
DurbinV2F.tar.gz
It is not fully tested, so use at your own risk...
As a tutorial test (BC and configuration example), herebelow you find a configuration for the asymmetric diffuser, in which the v2f model is known to predict quite well separation/reattachment. No grid is included.
diffuser_V2F_noMesh.tar.gz
Herebelow a plot of velocity/streamlines

A comparison with experimental friction coefficient is given below

From the Cf plot you can see the separation/reattachment points on the bottom wall...
Separation occurs at x/H=5 for v2f and at about 7 experimentally.
Reattachement occurs at x/H=29 for v2f and at about 29 experimentally.

Regards,
Michele.

hi, Rattin,

It is great. Thanks for sharing this model with me. I am doing three dimensional separated flow simulation now and want to try all different kind of turbulence models to see how good is the prediction.

Dear Rattin,

I am reading the v2f model you sent me. would you mind to answer a few questions for me about this v2f model?

Is this v2f model from Davidson's v2f model? Can you please give me a reference? What is the coefficient yStarLim for? I did not see this parameter in the durbin's version?

Thanks

QT

Quinn,
sorry for the late reply, I was abroad last week.
Here attached you will find a small reference for the model implemented:
v2f_description.pdf
The models includes the Davidson modifications and a limiter switch for time (T) and length (L) scales (Kolmogorov scales).
In this way the limiter is always active if you set yStarLim to a large number (say 10e+10), is never active if you set yStarLim to zero and is active partially if you set to, say, 30. The last case is consistent with the validity of the theoretical Kolmogorov microscales in the near-wall region.
Hope this helps.
P.S. v2f requires to mesh the near-wall region up to y<sup>+</sup><1, like any low-Re turbulence model.

Regards,
Michele.

Michele,

Thanks you so much for your help and suggestions. I have completed my simulation. The results from v2f are awesome. This is the best results after I tried a number of turbulence models.

I'm glad that the info were useful, and I hope you will make available to the forum the experience/results once completed the study.

Hi Michele,

Can you please tell me how you computed and plotted in OpenFOAM or any package the skin-friction coefficient along the wall for your diffuser case?

Hi Rattin,

as you wrote, you implemented the Davidson modifications. I assume you mean Lars Davidson and you 'just' implemnted the first modification. Do you have an idea, how to implenent the second modification, i.e. using different turbulent viscosities for different compononts?

Greetings!
Fabian

Hi Michele,

in the turbulenceProperties file of your V2F- example, there is also an entry for the constants of a k- Omega model. Can the implementation of this model be found somewhere in the forum or on sourceforge?

Best regards,
-Thomas

Thomas,
the k-w model available in the OpenFOAM release is the SST version.
You may also want to try the SAS modification (and several other models), available at
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Turbulence_Modeling
for download.

The k-w properties you found inside the dictionary refer to an implementation I made a couple of years ago (at the time the k-w model was not yet implemented in the OpenFOAM distribution).
If you are interested, I may pack the k-w models I implemented (little testing has been made).
The particularities of the models are:
- Wilcox k-w with and without the transitional modification
- consistent treatment of the wall region ("Model-consistent universal wall-function" - Knopp)
- rough surfaces (whose equivalent sand-roughness may be specified on a patch-by-patch basis)

Regards,
Michele.

thanks for the hint to the wiki.
Do you have any references for the transitional modification of the k-w model you mentioned?

Best regards,

Thomas,
the transitional modification is needed when you want to analyse laminar-to-turbulent boundary layer transition (turbulence models tipically predict transition at Reynolds numbers at least one order of magnitude too low...).
The transitional modifications are discussed in the Wilcox's book "Turbulence modeling for CFD".

Regards
Michele.

Hello Michele,

I downloaded the k-w models and compiled them (after changing volTensorField to volSymmTensorField for R) but trying to run the k-w model gave an error:

FOAM aborting (FOAM_ABORT set)

It seems that there gets something messed up with w and epsilon, but I have no idea where this could come from. Did you experience similar behaviour in one of your implementations and could you solve it?

Thomas,
no problems on my implementations.

I suspect there may be an error in the source code.
Enstropy has frequency units.
I never tried this SAS implementation.
In the laminarOmega.H code seems to lie the error:

dimensionedScalar
(
"omega", sqr(U_.dimensions())/dimTime, 0.0
)

At a first glance you may change the above with:
dimensionedScalar
(
"omega", dimless/dimTime, 0.0
)

Now I have no possibility to try it... so may you try this for me and let me know.

Regards,
Michele.

Hello Michele,

your above mentioned fix did not do the trick. I assume that you did the turbulence models implementation for an older version than 1.4.1-dev. I decided to take the SST- model provided with OF and modify it using your implementation as template to program the standard k-w model which seemed to work.
I was now trying to implement the k-w model with transitional behaviour but ran into problems with some of the terms. You mentioned that you have implemeted this. Would you be so kind to share this implementation so that I can again use it as template?

Best regards,
-Thomas

Hi Michele,

I am just trying to implement the zeta-f model, which is based on v2f by zeta=v2/k. For this I read in the thesis of Popovac http://repository.tudelft.nl/file/354721/370010, that the boundary condition for f should be similar implemented as for epsilon. I wonder, if there is a reason, tha you did not use it!? Was it more unstable?


Regards!
Fabian
