Aghora: A High-Order DG Solver for Turbulent Flow Simulations

  • Chapter
IDIHOM: Industrialization of High-Order Methods - A Top-Down Approach

Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design ((NNFM,volume 128))

Abstract

This paper presents details of the solver Aghora for the simulation of unsteady compressible turbulent flows. Different modelling levels are used: Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations coupled with turbulence transport equations, variational multi-scale formulation of large-eddy simulation, and direct numerical simulation. The space discretization is based on a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method with representation of curved boundaries. High-order explicit and implicit Runge-Kutta methods are used for the time integration. The performance of the solver will be assessed in various examples of compressible turbulent flow numerical simulation in three space dimensions.
