| Popis: | In this paper, we present a rigorous numerical analysis for a bounded artificial viscosity model ($\tau=\mu\delta^\sigma a(\delta\|\nabla^s\bm{u}\|_F)\nabla^s\bm{u})$ for the numerical simulation of turbulent flows. In practice, the commonly used Smagorinsky model ($\tau=(c_s\delta)^2\|\nabla^s\bm{u}\|_F\,\nabla^s\bm{u}$) is overly dissipative and yields unphysical results. To date, several methods for “clipping” the Smagorinsky viscosity have proven useful in improving the physical characteristics of the simulated flow. However, such heuristic strategies strongly rely upon a priori knowledge of the flow regime. The bounded artificial viscosity model relies on a highly nonlinear, but monotone and smooth, semilinear elliptic form for the artificial viscosity. For this model, we have introduced a variational computational strategy, provided finite element error convergence estimates, and included several computational examples indicating its improvement on the overly diffusive Smagorinsky model. |
