Abstract

The paper presents a comparison of two hybridization techniques between RANS and LES, and their potential and limitations in an industrial context. The first part of the paper also attempts to address an often eluded problem in the hybrid RANS/LES scommunity: the importance of the baseline statistical model. A new robust low-Reynolds number eddy-viscosity model, derived from a Reynolds-stress model and accounting for the lag between stress and strain is extended to Detached Eddy Simulation (DES), and compared with the most widely used DES model. The potential of a dual-mesh approach, where statistical and scale-resolving simulations are performed on separate grids, with drifts terms allowing to recover the most accurate solution on each grid, is also assessed on a simple case.
