Modeling of inhomogeneous compressibleturbulence using a two�scale statistical theory

By Fujihiro Hamba�

�� Motivation and objectives

Turbulence modeling plays an important role in the study of high�speed �ows inengineering and aerodynamic problems� they include �ows in supersonic combustionengines and over hypersonic transport aircraft� The enhancement of the kinetic en�ergy dissipation by the dilatational terms is one of the typical compressibility e�ects�Zeman ����� and Sarkar et al� ����� proposed that the dilatation dissipation isproportional to the solenoidal dissipation and is a function of the turbulent Machnumber� Sarkar ���� also modeled the pressure�dilatation correlation using theturbulent Mach number� Zeman ����� related the correlation to the rate of changeof the pressure variance�

Using a statistical theory Yoshizawa ����� pointed out that compressibility ef�fects are tightly linked with density �uctuations� He proposed a three�equationmodel that consists of transport equations for the kinetic energy� its dissipation�and the density variance �Yoshizawa ���� Taulbee � VanOsdol ����� also mod�eled transport equations for the density variance and the mass �ux� Fujiwara �Arakawa ���� proposed another type of three�equation model involving the sumof the normalized compressible turbulent kinetic energy and the density variance�

Yoshizawa ����� used a statistical theory called the two�scale direct�interactionapproximation �TSDIA to derive compressible turbulence models� This methodwas originally developed for incompressible turbulence �Yoshizawa ����� The TS�DIA consists of two main procedures� First� two�scale variables are introduced andthe direct�interaction approximation �DIA is applied to express statistical quan�tities in terms of two�time velocity correlations in wavenumber space� Second� byusing inertial�range spectra� expressions are simpli�ed to derive one�point closuremodels� However� the second procedure has not been carried out for compress�ible turbulence because detailed inertial�range spectra are not available� Instead�Yoshizawa ���� applied dimensional analysis to results of the �rst procedure� Healso proposed an alternative simpli�ed approach that treats the governing equationsin physical space �Yoshizawa ����� Several model expressions were obtained� andan important e�ect of density �uctuations was clari�ed by these methods� Someambiguity still remains� since several nondimensional parameters are involved incompressible turbulence� statistical quantities cannot be uniquely modeled only bydimensional analysis�

The energy spectrum for compressible turbulence has been examined both the�oretically and numerically to some extent� Moiseev et al� ����� theoretically ob�tained a spectral form that depends on the turbulent Mach number� Kida � Orszag����� showed that the spectrum of the solenoidal component in their DNS is veryclose to that for incompressible �ows whereas the spectrum of the compressiblecomponent depends strongly on the turbulent Mach number� Bataille � Bertoglio���� used eddy�damped quasi�normal Markovian theory to examine inertial�rangespectra of weakly compressible turbulence� Although more study needs to be doneto understand inertial�range behavior� these �ndings help us to assume some spec�tral forms for compressible turbulence�In this work� we introduce inertial�range spectra of density and velocity variances

to simplify results of the �rst procedure of TSDIA� A deviation from the Kolmogorovspectrum is assumed for the spectrum of the compressible velocity variance� Thedependence on nondimensional parameters is systematically obtained by the sim�pli�cation� We apply the TSDIA to several correlations included in the mean��eldequations to propose a three�equation model� We examine models for the dilatationdissipation using DNS of isotropic and homogeneous shear turbulence�

��� Two�scale statistical theory

This representation is equivalent to the viewpoint that the �uctuating motion con�sists of many small eddies moving with the mean velocity U � Hereafter� the depen�dence of f�k�X� �� T on X and T is not written explicitly�Applying ������ to the equations for ��� u�i� and p

respectively� For the solenoidal quantities s� �s� and ��s� the spectra are the sameas those for incompressible turbulence� The compressible part of energy spectrum� c� is set proportional to �d� This is because the ratio of the compressible tosolenoidal parts of turbulent kinetic energy is shown to be proportional to the ratioof the dilatational to solenoidal dissipations� The spectrum is steeper than theKolmogorov one by �� Moiseev et al� ����� showed that the deviation � is afunction of Mt� Here� we do not include such Mt dependence� but consider � asan unknown numerical parameter� The deviation from the incompressible inertial�range form is also introduced into ��k for compressible quantities� We assume thattime scales for compressible quantities are shorter than those for incompressibleones� the ratio is of the order of Mt�For example� substituting the above spectral forms into ��� we obtain a one�

Except for the isotropic part� � K�ij � the expression consists of three parts� The�rst part represents the modi�cation of the eddy viscosity due to compressibilityand nonequilibrium e�ects� The second part corresponds to nonlinear models thathave already been investigated for incompressible �ows �Speziale ����� The thirdpart represents the compressibility e�ect due to a mean pressure gradient�The modi�cation of the eddy viscosity due to DKDt and D�Dt has already

been proposed for incompressible �ows �Yoshizawa � Nisizima ��� � Yoshizawa����� also mentioned its importance for compressible �ows� Expression � � sug�gests that we should take into account not only the nonequilibrium e�ect but alsothe compressibility e�ects due to the density variance and mean�velocity divergence�

Modeling of compressible turbulence ��

Sarkar ����� showed that the reduced growth rate of turbulence energy in homoge�neous shear �ows is primarily due to the decrease in turbulence production� Sincethe production term includes the Reynolds stress� compressibility e�ects on theReynolds stress need to be modeled appropriately� In the present model the directe�ect of compressibility on the eddy viscosity is expressed by ��nM

�t in � � because

the mean�velocity divergence vanishes for homogeneous shear �ows� For inhomo�geneous turbulence the mean�velocity divergence can play an important role whenthe �ow speed rapidly changes in the streamwise direction as in a shock wave� Ifthe �ow speed decreases and the divergence is negative� the eddy viscosity becomessmaller than the usual estimate� K���Although the third part is smaller than the second part by a factor of Mt� its

expression is interesting in the sense that it does not include the mean velocity�Each term in the square bracket can be divided into the two terms� ������P�x�iand �����������xi��P�xi� A term similar to the latter can be seen in theK equation ��� The importance of this term in the K equation was discussed byYoshizawa ������ Similarly the transport equation for the Reynolds stress containssuch a term� Therefore� the gradients of mean density and pressure can a�ect theReynolds stress�

��� Pressure�dilatation correlation

The pressure�dilatation correlation has been investigated as a typical compress�ibility e�ect� In this work we obtained a model expression as

This model is di�erent from the above two models in that it does not contain thedensity variance� The �rst term on the right�hand side has a similar factor to theproduction term in the K equation� Yoshizawa ����� illustrated that such a termcan overestimate the pressure�dilatation correlation in a turbulent channel �ow inwhich the shear is strong but the correlation is very small� On the other hand�the present and Yoshizawa�s models contain the density variance� it is expected toexplain the small value of the correlation�

�� Comparison to DNS data

Blaisdell et al� ����� performed DNS of decaying isotropic and homogeneousshear turbulence� Using the DNS data we compare models for the dilatation dis�sipation� Although the TSDIA assumes inertial�range spectra� the simulations areat low Reynolds numbers and do not show an inertial range� The DNS resultsmust include some low Reynolds number e�ects� The values of model constants inthis paper may change for higher Reynolds number �ows� Nonetheless� we believethat by comparing the models to the DNS we can better understand compressibleturbulence�We examined four simulations of isotropic turbulence and nine simulations of

homogeneous shear �ow� Here� we will show results of three simulations� theirinitial conditions are given in Table I� The parameter �c in Table I denotes theratio of the compressible to total velocity variance hu�ciu�ciihu�ju�ji�

�� Future plans

Model expressions obtained in this work need to be examined further by compar�ing to DNS of homogeneous and inhomogeneous turbulence� Since the TSDIA is amethod based on derivative expansions� expressions contain several terms includinghigher�order terms� Some terms should be selected so that model expressions aresimple but contain essential compressibility e�ects� Model constants also should beestimated by DNS�We assumed inertial�range spectra of the density and velocity variances� The

spectral forms are not as established as those for incompressible �ows� If details ofinertial�range spectra are obtained in other theories or experiments� we can includethem into this analysis� The relationship to incompressible models in the limit ofzero Mach number also needs to be considered to improve the models�
