Abstract

Large-eddy simulation (LES) of Pseudo-Shock Wave (PSW) in a square duct was perfomed to study the three-dimensional turbulent structure. A flow with the PSW in the square section duct produced by the high back pressure was reproduced using LES. The inflow Mach number was 2.5 and the inflow boundary layer of 4.2mm thick. The incoming boundary layer for a square duct was established using the multi rescaling method. The Mach number distribution, schlieren image, wall pressure, and velocity data obtained from the LES were compared with the past experimental data. The shock train structure observed in the experiment was well reproduced by the LES. The averaged wall pressure and streamwise velocity distributions agreed well between the LES and the experiments. Also, the distributions of intensity and spatial correlation of velocity fluctuation reasonably agreed between the LES and the experiment, although some differences were observed in the velocity fluctuation intensity distribution at the position of front shock wave.
