Spectral and modal energy transfer analyses of LES using the discontinuous Galerkin method and their application to the variational multiscale approach. (English) Zbl 07510238
Summary: In this work we perform a-priori analyses of the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) Variational Multiscale (VMS) method for Large Eddy Simulation (LES). An analytical framework is introduced to study the ideal energy transfer between resolved and unresolved scales. The proposed framework is consistent with the discretization employed for the DG-LES simulations. The concept of modal eddy viscosity is also introduced which can be employed for the a-priori analysis of the DG-VMS method or spectral vanishing viscosity approaches. The developed framework is then applied to the analysis of the energy transfer in DG-LES by employing a DNS database of the Taylor-Green Vortex (TGV) at \(Re = 5\,000\), 20000 and 40000. A-priori analyses are carried out for the A. W. Vreman [Phys. Fluids 15, No. 8, 4 p. (2003; Zbl 1186.76552)] and all-all [J. B. Chapelier et al., Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 307, 275–299 (2016; Zbl 1436.76021)] variants of the DG-VMS approach. The performed analysis demonstrates that when the DG-LES resolution limit falls at the beginning of the dissipation range the assumption of large scales free of interaction with the unresolved scales is valid and the DG-VMS approach can replicate the ideal SGS dissipation spectrum. For coarser resolutions, typical of LES at high Reynolds numbers, the DG-VMS approach is unable to replicate the ideal energy transfer mechanism at the large-resolved scales. It is shown, a-priori, that a more accurate agreement can be obtained by employing a mixed Smagorinsky and DG-VMS approach with a fixed value of the scale-fraction parameter.
