Abstract
A finite difference method to be used in simulations of turbulent flows such as Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) has been developed and verified for basic benchmark flows. The method is constructed using the general curvilinear coordinate system with the collocated grid arrangement of the variables so that it can be easily applied to various engineering flows including hydraulic applications involving complex geometry and moving boundary. The computer code is verified by test calculation of steady laminar internal flow in a curved cavity and an external flow above a curved hill. Furthermore the same code is used to conduct a DNS of fully-developed turbulent flow in a two-dimensional open channel and a LES of flow over curved hill. All results indicate that the method is sound with sufficient accuracy for the intended applications.
