Abstract

We propose a novel subgrid-scale (SGS) eddy-viscosity model for large eddy simulation (LES) to accurately reproduce the effect of subgrid stresses on the resolved scales. The developed SGS model is based on the second-order volumetric strain-stretching (VSS) tensor, which is constructed by the multiplication of diagonal components of the strain-rate tensor with its off-diagonal components. The proposed VSS-model is validated in typical flow cases: freely decaying isotropic turbulence, incompressible turbulent channel flow at Reτ = 395, compressible turbulent channel flows at Ma = 1.5 and Reτ = 221, and Ma = 3.0 and Reτ = 556. LESs with the dynamic Smagorinsky model and the Vreman model are also performed to compare the performance of the VSS-model. The proposed model correctly recovers cubic wall behavior in the vicinity of solid boundaries in incompressible flow regime, and it has no limitation in its application to geometrically complex flows.
