2D sketch

Referential : cartesian geometry

  1. axes :
    • x(i) : downstream direction
    • y(j) : normal direction
    • z(k) : spanwise direction
  2. origin :
    • $x_0= 0$ : the step
    • $y_0= 0$ : the bottom wall of the domain
    • $z_0= 0$ : the left side of the computational domain

Reference scales

Non-dimensionalised data

Computational domain

  1. Domain scope
    • Downstream direction(x) : $L^*= 37.0$
    • Normal direction (y) : $H_t^*= 22.0$
    • Spanwise direction (z) : $l^*= \pi$
    • Step position : $L_s^*= 17.0$
    • Step height : $H^*= 1$
  2. Boundary conditions
    • Inlet : Turbulent boundary layer at $X_{in}^*= -17.0$, $\delta_{in}= \frac{H}{3}$ (boundary layer's thickness)
      $Re_{\theta}=300$, fluctuations generated from the SEM approach.
    • Outlet : Orlansky's type at $X_{out}^*= 20.0$
    • Wall conditions : Top and low walls of the domain
    • Periodicity : lateral ends of the domain
  3. Domain decomposition (200 MPI subdomains)
    • Along the downstream direction :
      • 15 (between the inlet and the outlet, above the step)
      • 10 (between the inlet and the step)
    • Along the normal direction : 4
    • Along the spanwise direction : 4

  4. Spatial resolution
    • Grid : $128 \times 192 \times 96$ per subdomain (471.859.200 cells over the domain)
    • About cell-size
      • $\Delta x_{min}^*= 1.0 \, 10^{-2} \quad \Delta x_{max}^*= 2.5 \,10^{-2}$ (downstream direction)
      • $\Delta y_{min}^*= 1.5 \, 10^{-3} \quad \Delta y_{max}^*= 7.5 \,10^{-2}$ (normal direction)
      • $\Delta z_{min}^*=\Delta z_{max}^*= 8.18123 \, 10^{-3}$ (spanwise direction)
