Abstract

In our present study, we compare the turbulent statistics obtained from a vortex method calculation with a finite difference calculation for the turbulent channel flow. The present vortex method is a standard vortex particle method, which uses the core spreading method with spatial adaptation [1] as the diffusion scheme. The Reynolds number was Reb = 5600 and the calculation domain was 3δ × 2δ ×3 δ ×, where δ is the channel half width. The mean velocity profile after one wash-out time is shown in Fig. 1(a), while the mean velocity gradient and Reynolds stress after one wash-out time are shown in Fig. 1(b). The results of the vortex method show an excessive production of Reynolds stress in the viscous layer.
