Title The deviation from parallel shear flow as an indicator of linear eddy-viscosity model inaccuracy Type A1 Journal article
Year 2014 Publication Physics of fluids Abbreviated Journal Phys Fluids
Volume 26 Issue 5 Pages 051702
Keywords A1 Journal article; Electron microscopy for materials research (EMAT)
Abstract A marker function designed to indicate in which regions of a generic flow field the results from linear eddy-viscosity turbulence models are plausibly inaccurate is introduced. The marker is defined to identify regions that deviate from parallel shear flow. For two different flow fields it is shown that these regions largely coincide with regions where the prediction of the Reynolds stress divergence is inaccurate. The marker therefore offers a guideline for interpreting results obtained from Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations and provides a basis for the further development of turbulence model-form uncertainty quantification methods.

Title Quantifying inflow and RANS turbulence model form uncertainties for wind engineering flows Type A1 Journal article
Year 2015 Publication Journal of wind engineering and industrial aerodynamics T2 – 6th International Symposium on Computational Wind Engineering (CWE), JUN 08-12, 2014, Hamburg, GERMANY Abbreviated Journal J Wind Eng Ind Aerod
Volume 144 Issue 144 Pages 202-212
Keywords A1 Journal article; Electron microscopy for materials research (EMAT)
Abstract Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations are often used in the wind engineering practice for the analysis of turbulent bluff body flows. An approach that allows identifying the uncertainty related to the use of reduced-order turbulence models in RANS simulations would significantly increase the confidence in the use of simulation results as a basis for design decisions. In the present study we apply a strategy that enables quantifying these uncertainties by introducing perturbations in the Reynolds stress tensor to simulations of the flow in downtown Oklahoma City. The method is combined with a framework to quantify uncertainties in the inflow wind direction and intensity, and the final result of the UQ approach is compared to field measurement data for the velocity at 13 locations in the downtown area.
