This study introduces an efficient spectral method for simulating turbulence in plane Couette flow, accurately resolving boundary layers and friction factors even when over 80% of modes are suppressed. The findings support logarithmic velocity profiles across various resolutions.

Area of Science:

  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Turbulence simulation is computationally intensive.
  • Traditional methods like large eddy simulations often discard small turbulent scales.
  • Plane Couette flow is a fundamental geometry for studying wall-bounded turbulence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a computationally efficient spectral method for simulating plane Couette flow turbulence.
  • To investigate the accuracy of this method in resolving boundary layer structures and friction factors.
  • To analyze the resulting velocity profiles and turbulence statistics.

Main Methods:

  • A spectral method was employed, with a sparse wave number grid in spanwise and downstream directions.
  • The number of modes scales as Re(3/4) lnRe, offering significant computational savings.

  • Simulations were performed at a Reynolds number of 2000, suppressing over 80% of modes.

    • Main Results:

    • The method achieved accurate resolution of boundary layer structures and friction factors despite high mode suppression.
    • Mean velocity profiles consistently followed logarithmic laws.
    • The von Karman constant was found to be approximately 0.4 across a range of resolutions.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed spectral method provides an efficient and accurate approach for simulating wall-bounded turbulence.
    • Logarithmic velocity profiles and a von Karman constant near 0.4 are robust findings, even with reduced model complexity.
    • This technique offers a viable alternative for studying turbulence at higher Reynolds numbers with reduced computational cost.
