In this paper, the major problems associated with detached eddy simulation (DES) (namely, modeled stress depletion (MSD) and slowing of the RANS to LES transition (RLT)) are discussed and reviewed, and relevant improvements are developed. A modified version for the delayed DES (DDES) method with adaptive modified adequate shielding and rapid transition is proposed; this is called MSRT DDES. The modified shielding strategy can be adjusted adaptively according to the local flow conditions: keeping the RANS behavior in the whole boundary layer when there is no resolved turbulence, and weakening the shielding function when resolved turbulence exists in the mainstream over the boundary layer. This strategy can significantly ameliorate the MSD in the RANS boundary layer, regardless of the mesh refinement, and avoid excessive shielding in the fully developed resolved turbulence that may otherwise delay the development of the separated and reattached flow. Three cases are designed to test the modified DDES, namely, complete shielding in the RANS zone of a boundary layer (the zero-pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer with the refined mesh), modified adaptive improved shielding with a rapid transition (the flow over a hump), and the overall performance in a complex 3D separation (the corner separation in a compressor cascade). The results show that the modified shielding function is more physical than earlier proposals compared to shielding functions, and according to detailed comparisons of the wall skin friction coefficients, velocity profiles, total pressure-loss coefficients, entropy production analyses, and so on, the MSD and RLT problems are moderately alleviated by the MSRT DDES. |
