OPTIMAL CLOSURES IN HYDRODYNAMIC MODELS

Matharu, Pritpal January 2018 (has links)
In this work, we investigate the performance limitations characterizing certain common closure models for nonlinear models of fluid flow. The need for closures arises when for computational reasons first-principles models, such as the Navier-Stokes equations, are replaced with their simplified (filtered) versions such as the Large-Eddy Simulation (LES). In the present work, we focus on a simple model problem based on the 1D Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with a Smagorinsky-type eddy-viscosity closure model. The eddy viscosity is assumed to be a function of the state (flow) variable whose optimal functional form is determined in a very general form in the continuous setting. It is found by solving a PDE-constrained optimization problem in which the least-squares error between the output of the LES and the true flow evolution is minimized with respect to the functional form of the eddy viscosity. This problem is solved using a gradient-based technique utilizing a suitable adjoint-based variational data-assimilation approach implemented in the optimize-then-discretize setting using state-of-the-art techniques. The numerical computations are thoroughly validated. The obtained results indicate how the standard Smagorinsky closure model can be refined such that the corresponding LES evolution approximates more accurately the evolution of the original (unfiltered) flow. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

Desarrollo de un modelo hidrodinámico tridimensional para el estudio de la propagación de ondas largas en estuarios y zonas someras

Castanedo Bárcena, Sonia 31 March 2000 (has links)
En la presente tesis se analizan los aspectos teóricos y prácticos necesarios para el desarrollo de un modelo numérico tridimensional válido para los estuarios típicos del Norte de España, cuyas características principales son la existencia de importantes gradientes de profundidad, , y de zonas que se inundan y se secan periódicamente debido al efecto de la marea astronómica.De la revisión del estado del conocimiento sobre modelado hidrodinámico tridimensional en zonas someras, se ha concluido que aunque existen varios modelos tridimensionales propuestos para estuarios, ninguno está preparado para su aplicación en los casos de estudio de esta tesis. La anterior aseveración está principalmente relacionada con tres temas fundamentales: sistema de coordenadas, representación de la turbulencia y simulación de la inundación - secado del dominio de cálculo. Se ha investigado con detalle estos aspectos y como resultado se ha desarrollado un modelo que incluye el resultado de la investigación realizada y que ha sido validado tanto con soluciones analíticas, como con datos de laboratorio y de campo.
