Abstract
Abstract Many turbulent flow simulations require the use of hybrid methods because LES methods are computationally too expensive and RANS methods are not sufficiently accurate. We consider a recently suggested hybrid RANS-LES model that has a sound theoretical basis: it is systematically derived from a realizable stochastic turbulence model. The model is applied to turbulent swirling and nonswirling jet flow simulations. The results are shown to be in a very good agreement with available experimental data of nonswirling and mildly swirling jet flows. Compared to commonly applied other hybrid RANS-LES methods, our RANS-LES model does not seem to suffer from the ’modeled-stress depletion’ problem that is observed in DES and IDDES simulations of nonswirling jet flows, and it performs better than segregated RANS-LES models. The results presented contribute to a better physical understanding of swirling jet flows through an explanation of conditions for the onset and the mechanism of vortex breakdown.
