Current implementation of synthetic eddy method

[mattfalc1997]

Hi all,

I am trying to find a reference for the current implementation of the synthetic eddy method. I am aware of the 2006 paper by Jarrin et al., but I was wondering if the current implementation uses a more advanced version, perhaps one that is divergence-free.

Best wishes,
Matthew

Hello,

I just relayed this question to Sofiane Benhamadouche a few minutes ago, and is seems that the code may have evolved a bit, and it would actually be helpful for everybody if someone took to time to dive into the code in our SEM implementation to check / update the equations relative to published models.

Batten's method is also implemented.

According to Sofiane, Our SEM implementation is not divergence free, but Alistair Revell's team at the university of Manchester has worked on a divergence free version (it would be interesting to check on this and merge it into our mainline version, but I am not sure if/where this may figure in the backlog of turbulence developments at Mancjhester that we would need to integrate into the mainline version).

Best regards,

Yvan

Okay, that makes sense. It sounds like a divergence-free version would be beneficial.
