Solve the standard (Navier Stokes) flow equation on a very fine mesh- All scales are resolved on that mesh (down to Kolmogorov scale)- No model needed- Results considered as valid as experimental data- Enormous computer resources, for even modest speed-domain size (Reynolds number)

Luckily, only Large Scales matter (most of the time)
Large Scales & Human activity• Drag, mixing, heat transfer, • Large Scales dictate flow physics• Generated by/scale with obstacle• Impose dissipation rate
Exceptions: noise, combustion,
Weather forecast (we are the small scales !)

• Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) databases <=> Experiments
= “Costly” Fluid Dyn., exceptional, limited to zoom effect,
- 100% accurate, back to 1st principles, NO modelling hypothesis
• Large Eddy Simulation (LES)= “Colourful” Fluid Dyn., much detail,
fluctuations, spectra,- Applicable Eng. problems, at some cost- Almost as reliable as DNS, but know-how
required, not well established
• Reynolds Averaged (RANS)= “Conventional” Fluid Dyn., used daily in
Eng., only mean values (B&W)- Economical, full reactor or sub-component
design (parametric) possible- Problem: wide range of models to choose
from, - needs improvement & validation for new
range of applications (high temperature, buoyancy, conjugate heat
transfer, )
Future : Coupling of RANS and LES, using DNS for insight & validation
3 Levels of CFD approaches to turbulent flow

Industrial LES applications to reactor thermal hydraulics
LES is mostly about numerical methods
Grid able to capture most turbulent scales Easier in Power Industry (confined, non-streamlined geometry) Local/embedded grid refinement, polyhedral scales
Boundary conditions Walls => quasi DNS (wall functions not ideal) Some real periodic geometry. pb. in Power Gen (tube bundles) Synthetic inlet turbulence
Target values Order of Mag. (within 10%), not 0.01 on Cd Thermal mixing & loading, spectra, vibrations….
Need Fast Unstructured FV Solver
EDF code Saturne & Star-CD very similar
High Accuracy Numerical Scheme No numerical dissipation
( Central differencing, Second order in time) Avoid any mesh distortion

Conclusions – Industrial LES
• LES of Industrial flow• Much more information:
Thermal stresses, fatigue, Acoustics, FIV (vibrations)• Cost-wise accessible when limited to subdomain
(synthetic turbulence for inlet)• Complex geometry possibly easier than smooth channel flow (academic overkill ?)
• Flexible flexibility with professional/commercial software:
• Opens new range of applications for LES• Medium Re number : DNS near wall resolution possible• Greater breakthrough than elaborate SGS models?
• Further developments: • More meshing control (total cell size control from pre-simulation)• High Re : RANS –LES coupling, embedded LES
• Cross-discipline research: Fluids / Structure-Mech/ Materials ?Cracks, Thermal stripping, ageing,
corrosion …
