Abstract
We investigate turbulent duct flows with a square cross section using well-resolved large-eddy simulations (LES). A physically consistent subgrid-scale turbulence model based on the Adaptive Local Deconvolution Method (ALDM) for implicit LES is used. The wall shear stress is artificially modified at one of the four walls to analyse the influence on the secondary flow. A direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a symmetrical duct flow is used as reference to assess the influence of a modified wall shear stress. The modification results in an asymmetrical distribution of the secondary flow source terms, affecting the momentum distribution. Further, the anisotropy of the Reynolds stress tensor, which induces the secondary flow vortices is considerably affected by the wall shear stress modulation.
