Abstract
A strategy which blends a variational multiscale large eddy simulation (VMS-LES) model and a RANS model in a hybrid approach is investigated. A smooth blending function, which is based on the value of a blending parameter, is used for switching from VMS-LES to RANS. Different definitions of the blending parameter are investigated. The capabilities of the novel hybrid approach are appraised in the simulation of the flow around a circular cylinder at a Reynolds number 1.4×105, based on the freestream velocity and on the cylinder diameter, in the presence of turbulent boundary-layer due to turbulent inflow conditions. A second study at Reynolds numbers from Re=6.7×105 to 1.25×106 is also presented. The effect of using the VMS-LES approach in the hybrid model is evaluated. Results are compared to those of other RANS, LES and hybrid simulations in the literature and with experimental data
