In this paper, a high-order gas-kinetic scheme in general curvilinear coordinate (HGKS-cur) is developed for the numerical simulation of compressible turbulence. Based on the coordinate transformation, the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation is transformed from physical space to computational space. To deal with the general mesh given by discretized points, the geometrical metrics need to be constructed by the dimension-by-dimension Lagrangian interpolation. The multidimensional weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) reconstruction is adopted in the computational domain for spatial accuracy, where the reconstructed variables are the cell averaged Jacobian and the Jacobian-weighted conservative variables. The two-stage fourth-order method, which was developed for spatial-temporal coupled flow solvers, is used for temporal discretization. The numerical examples for inviscid and laminar flows validate the accuracy and geometrical conservation law of HGKS-cur. As a direct application, HGKS-cur is implemented for the implicit large eddy simulation (iLES) in compressible wall-bounded turbulent flows, including the compressible turbulent channel flow and compressible turbulent flow over periodic hills. The iLES results with HGKS-cur are in good agreement with the refereed spectral methods and high-order finite volume methods. The performance of HGKS-cur demonstrates its capability as a powerful tool for the numerical simulation of compressible wall-bounded turbulent flows and massively separated flows.

We explore the role of gravitational settling on inertial particle concentrations in a wall-bounded turbulent flow. While it may be thought that settling can be ignored when the settling parameter $Svequiv v_s/u_tau$ is small ($v_s$ - Stokes settling velocity, $u_tau$ - fluid friction velocity), we show that even in this regime the settling may make a leading order contribution to the concentration profiles. This is because the importance of settling is determined, not by the size of $v_s$ compared with $u_tau$ or any other fluid velocity scale, but by the size of $v_s$ relative to the other mechanisms that control the vertical particle velocity and concentration profile. We explain this in the context of the particle mean-momentum equation, and show that in general, there always exists a region in the boundary layer where settling cannot be neglected, no matter how small $Sv$ is (provided it is finite). Direct numerical simulations confirm the arguments, and show that the near-wall concentration is highly dependent on $Sv$ even when $Svll 1$, and can reduce by an order of magnitude when $Sv$ is increased from $O(10^{-4})$ and $O(10^{-2})$. The results also show that the preferential sampling of ejection events in the boundary layer by inertial particles when $Sv=0$ is profoundly altered as $Sv$ is increased, and is replaced by a preferential sampling of sweep events due to the onset of the preferential sweeping mechanism.
On its way to turbulence, plane Couette flow - the flow between counter-translating parallel plates - displays a puzzling steady oblique laminar-turbulent pattern. We approach this problem via Galerkin modelling of the Navier-Stokes equations. The wall-normal dependence of the hydrodynamic field is treated by means of expansions on functional bases fitting the boundary conditions exactly. This yields a set of partial differential equations for the spatiotemporal dynamics in the plane of the flow. Truncating this set beyond lowest nontrivial order is numerically shown to produce the expected pattern, therefore improving over what was obtained at cruder effective wall-normal resolution. Perspectives opened by the approach are discussed.
The ability of linear stochastic response analysis to estimate coherent motions is investigated in turbulent channel flow at friction Reynolds number Re$_tau$ = 1007. The analysis is performed for spatial scales characteristic of buffer-layer and large-scale motions by separating the contributions of different temporal frequencies. Good agreement between the measured spatio-temporal power spectral densities and those estimated by means of the resolvent is found when the effect of turbulent Reynolds stresses, modelled with an eddy-viscosity associated to the turbulent mean flow, is included in the resolvent operator. The agreement is further improved when the flat forcing power spectrum (white noise) is replaced with a power spectrum matching the measures. Such a good agreement is not observed when the eddy-viscosity terms are not included in the resolvent operator. In this case, the estimation based on the resolvent is unable to select the right peak frequency and wall-normal location of buffer-layer motions. Similar results are found when comparing truncated expansions of measured streamwise velocity power spectral densities based on a spectral proper orthogonal decomposition to those obtained with optimal resolvent modes.
An efficient third-order discrete unified gas kinetic scheme (DUGKS) with efficiency is presented in this work for simulating continuum and rarefied flows. By employing two-stage time-stepping scheme and the high-order DUGKS flux reconstruction strategy, third-order of accuracy in both time and space can be achieved in the present method. It is also analytically proven that the second-order DUGKS is a special case of the present method. Compared with the high-order lattice Boltzmann equation {LBE} based methods, the present method is capable to deal with the rarefied flows by adopting the Newton-Cotes quadrature to approximate the integrals of moments. Instead of being constrained by the second-order (or lower-order) of accuracy in time splitting scheme as in the conventional high-order Runge-Kutta (RK) based kinetic methods, the present method solves the original BE, which overcomes the limitation in time accuracy. Typical benchmark tests are carried out for comprehensive evaluation of the present method. It is observed in the tests that the present method is advantageous over the original DUGKS in accuracy and capturing delicate flow structures. Moreover, the efficiency of the present third-order method is also shown in simulating rarefied flows.
The present study investigates the accurate inference of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solutions for the compressible flow over aerofoils in two dimensions with a deep neural network. Our approach yields networks that learn to generate precise flow fields for varying body-fitted, structured grids by providing them with an encoding of the corresponding mapping to a canonical space for the solutions. We apply the deep neural network model to a benchmark case of incompressible flow at randomly given angles of attack and Reynolds numbers and achieve an improvement of more than an order of magnitude compared to previous work. Further, for transonic flow cases, the deep neural network model accurately predicts complex flow behaviour at high Reynolds numbers, such as shock wave/boundary layer interaction, and quantitative distributions like pressure coefficient, skin friction coefficient as well as wake total pressure profiles downstream of aerofoils. The proposed deep learning method significantly speeds up the predictions of flow fields and shows promise for enabling fast aerodynamic designs.
