Abstract:
In previous work, a Large Eddy Simulation turbulence (LES) algorithm was developed for finite element-based computational fluid dynamics, using a hybrid continuous-discontinuous Galerkin scheme. The test case for this was a backward-facing step, which is a well-known example with published experimental results for validation. The results of this simulation were used to produce temporal statistics, such as averaged velocity and Reynolds stress profiles, and time-series data. In conjunction with previous published work by the authors, this data here will allow validation of other LES models and as well as detailed comparisons with the original model.
