Abstract

New data assimilation technique for turbulent flows is proposed, which allows determination of the turbulent viscosity, velocity and pressure distributions from the experimentally measured temperature fields. Measurements are performed for a round jet of hot air using nonintrusive Background Oriented Schlieren technique. Thus, seedless velocity and pressure measurement is realized, as well as measurement of the turbulent viscosity field without usage of any particular turbulence model. Data assimilation results are shown to be in good agreement with the conventional RANS simulations using the Spalart–Allmaras and k-ɛ turbulence models, if adequate smoothing of the input temperature field is performed and sufficient regularization of the energy equation in regions with uniform temperature is provided.
