Data-driven RANS closures for three-dimensional flows around bluff bodies

In this short note we apply the recently proposed data-driven RANS closure modelling framework of Schmelzer et al.(2020) to fully three-dimensional, high Reynolds number flows: namely wall-mounted cubes and cuboids at Re=40,000, and a cylinder at Re=140,000. For each flow, a new RANS closure is generated using sparse symbolic regression based...

Customized data-driven RANS closures for bi-fidelity LES–RANS optimization

Multi-fidelity optimization methods promise a high-fidelity optimum at a cost only slightly greater than a low-fidelity optimization. This promise is seldom achieved in practice, due to the requirement that low- and high-fidelity models correlate well. In this article, we propose an efficient bi-fidelity shape optimization method for...
