TurbulentDissipation unstable with a local scour around a pier simulattion

Asked by liu chin chi

dear all,
i've try to simulate a local scour around a pier with sediment model build in FLUIDITY.

subgridscale parameterisations/kepsilon is be used and kepsilon boundary is be applied to bottom and pier sides.but the "TurbulentDissipation" around the pier surface would increase greatly with time.

I've try to turn off sediment model, or modify the grid resolution and background viscosity but still
can't let "TurbulentDissipation" stable.

any comment is appreciated. thanks.

# box set
Length:0.36 m
Width:0.36 m
Height:0.07 m
radius(pier):0.03 m

# velocity boundary
west : a constant velocity 0.2 m/s (inlet)
east : zero-gradient boundary conditions (outlet)
south and north : free slide wall
top : free surface
bottom : no normal flow and drag
pier : no normal flow

Hi there,

K-E model is difficult to get stable at times. Try turning it off and
checking for a stable run first. Add a reasonable amount diffusion and
viscosity to ensure stability. Once the run is stable, try adding the
K-E back in.

Hope that helps,

Jon

Hello Liu,

I agree with Jon about the way forward. I would just liker to add that I am
not sure your boundary condition around the pier and on the bottom surface
are valid. K-epsilon is only implemented with a low-re boundary condition.
This assumes a no-slip condition for velocity and could be why dissipation
is blowing up around the pier.

I would recommend applying no slip conditions and having significantly
higher resolution at these no slip boundaries to resolve the boundary layer
sufficiently.

Cheers,

Sam

Hi Jon,
When the K-E be turned off, the model would be stable after 15 second.

Hi Sam,
I've tested slip and no slip on the pier. (all used no slip on the bottom)
and Both are blowing up around 9 second.

I'll try to modify the diffusion, viscosity and a higher resolution next.

thanks your comments.

Hello Liu,

Can you confirm a few things:

1. When you have no-slip around the pier, you have low-re boundary
conditions on the k and epsilon fields around the pier.
2. When you have free-slip around the pier, you do not have low-re boundary
conditions on the k and epsilon fields around the pier.
2. It is still blowing up around the pier. If so is the source of the
instability at the pier boundary? Can you send some pictures of the
timesteps leading up to the instability for both the no-slip and free-slip
cases?

Thanks,

Sam

Hi SamHi Sam,

I make a mistake of using a drag boundary instead of no slip bounary.
I'm re-running the case now and would post the result letter.
Sorry to be confusing.

Hello Sam,

The model gets stable now.
Thanks your comments.

Thanks Samuel Parkinson, that solved my question.
