    Large eddy simulation of a thermal impinging jet using the lattice Boltzmann method

    A compressible Hybrid Lattice Boltzmann Method solver is used to perform a wall-resolved Large eddy simulation of an isothermal axisymmetric jet issuing from a pipe and impinging on a heated flat plate at a Reynolds number of 23 000, a Mach number of 0.1, and an impingement distance of two jet diameters. The jet flow field statistics, Nusselt number profile (including the secondary peak), and shear stress profile were well reproduced. The azimuthal coherence of the primary vortical structures was relatively low, leading to no discernible temporal periodicity of the azimuthally averaged Nusselt number at the location of the secondary peak. While local unsteady near-wall flow separation was observed in the wall jet, this flow separation did not exhibit azimuthal coherence and was not found to be the only cause of the thermal spots blue, which lead to the secondary peak in the Nusselt number, as stream-wise oriented structures also played a significant role in increasing the local heat transfer.

    Impact of osmotic pressure on the stability of Taylor vortices

    We use linear stability analysis and direct numerical simulations to investigate the coupling between centrifugal instabilities, solute transport and osmotic pressure in a Taylor–Couette configuration that models rotating dynamic filtration devices. The geometry consists of a Taylor–Couette cell with a superimposed radial throughflow of solvent across two semi-permeable cylinders. Both cylinders totally reject the solute, inducing the build-up of a concentration boundary layer. The solute retroacts on the velocity field via the osmotic pressure associated with the concentration differences across the semi-permeable cylinders. Our results show that the presence of osmotic pressure strongly alters the dynamics of the centrifugal instabilities and substantially reduces the critical conditions above which Taylor vortices are observed. It is also found that this enhancement of the hydrodynamic instabilities eventually plateaus as the osmotic pressure is further increased. We propose a mechanism to explain how osmosis and instabilities cooperate and develop an analytical criterion to bound the parameter range for which osmosis fosters the hydrodynamic instabilities.

    EUROfusion-theory and advanced simulation coordination (E-TASC): programme and the role of high performance computing

    Abstract This paper is a written summary of an overview oral presentation given at the 1st Spanish Fusion High Performance Computer (HPC) Workshop that took place on the 27 November 2020 as an online event. Given that over the next few years ITER 24 24 ITER (‘The Way’ in Latin) is the world’s largest tokamak under construction in the south of France: a magnetic fusion device that has been designed to prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy ( https://www.iter.org/ ). will move to its operation phase and the European-DEMO design will be significantly advanced, the EUROfusion consortium has initiated a coordination effort in theory and advanced simulation to address some of the challenges of the fusion research in Horizon EUROPE (2021–2027), i.e. the next EU Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. This initiative has been called E-TASC, which stands for EUROfusion-Theory and Advanced Simulation Coordination. The general and guiding principles of E-TASC are summarized in this paper. In addition, an overview of the scientific results obtained in the pilot phase (2019–2020) of E-TASC are provided while highlighting the importance of the required progress in computational methods and HPC techniques. In the initial phase, five pilot theory and simulation tasks were initiated: towards a validated predictive capability of the low to high transition and pedestal physics; runaway electrons in tokamak disruptions in the presence of massive material injection; fast code for the calculation of neoclassical toroidal viscosity in stellarators and tokamaks; development of a neutral gas kinetics modular code; European edge and boundary code for reactor-relevant devices. In this paper, we report on recent progress made by each of these projects.

    Core-edge 2D fluid modeling of full tokamak discharge with varying magnetic equilibrium: from WEST start-up to ramp-down

    In the present work we investigate for the first time the 2D fluid transport of the plasma in WEST during an entire discharge from the start-up to the ramp-down (shot #54487). The evolution of density profile, electron and ion temperatures together with the experimental magnetic equilibrium, total current and gas-puff rate is investigated. Comparisons with the interferometry diagnostic show a remarkable overall qualitative agreement during the discharge that can be quantitative at some locations in the plasma core. If at the onset of the X-points during the ramp-up the electron heat flux is dominant at the target, present results show that the ion heat flux becomes dominant during the stationary phase of the discharge. Using a simple model for erosion, present results assess the tungsten sputtering due to deuterium ions during the start-up and ramp-up phases of the discharge and confirms the need to consider full discharge simulation to accurately treat the W source of contamination. This work also demonstrates the interest of developing magnetic equilibrium free solver including efficient time integration to step toward predictive capabilities in the future for fusion operation.

7 novembre 2022 - Novel and efficient algorithms for the numerical simulation ofimmersed moving and deforming structures in realistic industrial conditions in aeronautics using lattice Boltzmann method / PhD defense Heesik YOO
Doctorant : Heesik YOO

Abstract : Rotating geometries are crucial configurations in industry, encountered in rotors, propellers and turbofans and the most classical method to simulate them in general computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the overset mesh (so called, Chimera mesh), which uses two different meshes simultaneously. However the numerical complexity of this scheme makes their implementation challenging in CFD, not to mention in lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). LBM has been attracting several industrial sectors over the last decades, including aeronautical transport, energy and health, and still remains a very active research topic in CFD. While chronic drawbacks of the LBM have been being overcome recently by the community, such as the instability issues at high Reynolds and high Mach numbers, one of the major remaining challenges is to simulate with a high level of reliability rotating geometries undergoing these challenging industrial conditions. In this thesis, we provide a detailed study of the application of rotating overset grids in LBM at high Reynolds and high Mach numbers flows. To do so, since there exist both fixed and rotating meshes at the same time, an efficient interpolation procedure is used to perform the instantaneous communication between fixed and rotating meshes, and appropriate fictitious forces are applied in the rotating region to account for the non-inertial reference axis. Also, flow physics are described by hybrid recursive regularized LBM model (HRR), which is chosen to stabilize flow from high Reynolds, high Mach flow and the numerical defects of overset grids. Particularly, for compressible flow, temperature is transported by the entropy equation which solved by the MUSCL-Hancock scheme. The numerical framework is thoroughly analyzed by separating all numerical ingredients and by studying the different numerical error sources originated from the algorithm. It is validated on different test cases, from academic ones to challenging industrial ones. The results point out good accuracy and robustness of the numerical method compared to conventional finite volume Navier-Stokes solvers and experiments. According to the best of the author's knowledge, this work presents the first thorough validation and error analysis of the lattice Boltzmann method for simulating moving geometries in high Mach compressible flows, including any type of movement such as oscillation, translation and rotation, etc.

17 octobre 2022 - Optimization of bronchial decongestion by pressure wave thanks to CFD / PhD defense Antoine GALKO
Doctorant : Antoine GALKO

Date : Lundi 17 Octobre 2022 à 14:00 ; amphi 3, Centrale Marseille

Abstract : Lung diseases are affecting more and more people worldwide. The most common diseases are COPD, asthma and mucovisidosis. Patients suffering from these diseases often have dysfunctions in mucociliary clearance. Mucociliary clearance normally removes contaminated mucus from the bronchial tree. When there is a dysfunction, the mucus increases in quantity and usually becomes very viscous and sticky, making it difficult to clear. This increases the risk of lung infection. To limit and facilitate the life of the patients, devices of assistance to the bronchial désencombrement are developed like the SIMEOX® developed by the compagny Physio-Assist. This device uses periodic depressions to liquefy mucus in order to facilitate its expectoration. It is in this context that this thesis is conducted. To understand the impact of this type of device on bronchial clearance and more particularly on the rheology of mucus, a numerical study, using a lattice-Boltzmann method coupled with immersed boundaries, is carried out. The impact of a pressure forcing on a non-Newtonian fluid of the Herschel-Bulkley type is then studied. First, we consider a non-Newtonian fluid, modelled by a Herchel-Bulkley law, transported by a pressure forcing in a 2D channel with fixed walls. We observe that the rheology of the mucus and the type of signal govern a rich physics that conditions the transport of the fluid. In a second step, we analyse the same forcing and fluid conditions, but in a channel whose walls are mobile and can move according to the internal depressions of the channel as a function of a parameter qualifying the ease of wall movement. It is shown that the flow conditions as well as the transported fluid flow rate are strongly influenced by the wall flexibility parameters.

Abstract : This work is a part of the project ALBUMS (Advanced Lattice-Boltzmann Understandings for Multi-physics Simulations) which aims at promoting the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to full scale realistic industrial applications. Originally designed as a weakly compressible solver, many attempts have been made during the last three decades to remove the scientific locks of major importance for the use of LBM.However, the solid wall modeling with the presence of turbulent boundary layer and the prediction of heat dominated flow still challenge its applications especially at high Reynolds number with large temperature differences. The purpose of this manuscript is to improve the LBM's robustness, accuracy and efficiency in the solid wall modeling as well as to extend its ability on predicting heat transfers in the limit of low-Mach number which constitute two main axes of this thesis. The solid wall modeling and mass leakage issues are firstly investigated.The cut-cell immersed boundary (IBM) method based on regularized boundary condition is adopted because of its outstanding advantages such as robust, easy to implement, suited to deal with complex geometries etc. All of these properties are required in engineering configurations.This boundary condition is evaluated using a classical weakly compressible LB method in an isothermal regime while the pressure-based LB method is employed to address thermal regimes. It's observed that significant mass leakage may occur at solid walls which degrades the accuracy of the solutions and the reliability of the simulations.In order to circumvent this problem, a spatial-temporal relaxation mass correction scheme is adopted for the simulation of isothermal turbulent flows. For non-isothermal flows however, there may still be significant mass leakage, and the redefined zero-order moments of the distribution function of pressure-based LB method complicates the analysis of the mass leakage issue. To solve this, a mass correction scheme is then proposed based on the compressible LB method and applied to the classical natural convection scenario.Furthermore, an advanced near wall modeling via a blending RANS/LES approach is proposed in the framework of LBM to simulate high Reynolds number turbulent flows. Regarding the prediction of heat dominated flows, which was one of the main task of this work, the pressure-based LB method suffers from the time restriction issue for low-Mach thermal flows which makes the simulations inefficient.For this reason, a new hybrid thermal LB solver based on the well-known low-Mach number approximation (LMNA) is proposed and validated on various thermal flow configurations. At least a 10 times speed-up is achieved while keeping high accuracy compared to the reference according to this study.
