A Comparison of Inflow Generation Methods for Large-Eddy Simulation
A study of various turbulent inflow generation methods
was performed to compare their relative effectiveness for LES
computations of turbulent boundary layers. This study confirmed
the quality of the turbulent information produced by the family of
recycling and rescaling methods which take information from within
the computational domain. Furthermore, more general inflow methods
also proved applicable to such simulations, with a precursor-like
inflow and a random inflow augmented with forcing planes showing
promising results.
