Application of the uniform mo<strong>de</strong>l in the LARA configuration<br />

The mo<strong>de</strong>ls proposed in section III.B, UM1 and UM2, are implemented in the AVBP<br />

co<strong>de</strong> (section IIA) and tested in the case of the LARA experiment. Fig. 9 presents the<br />

computational domain of the large-scale large-eddy <strong>simulation</strong>s performed for the a posteriori<br />

validation. It consists in two channels (height h = 0.12 m) separated by a plate that is<br />

perforated over a streamwise distance of 2.7 h. It has been <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to locate the inflows<br />

6 h upstream of the perforated part of the plate. Fluid coming from channel 2 is injected<br />

in channel 1 through the multi-perforated plate to mimic the effusion of cooling air into<br />

combustion products.<br />

The si<strong>de</strong> walls of the experiment have been replaced by periodic conditions in the spanwise<br />

direction z. In the <strong>simulation</strong>, the perforated part of the wall is replaced by the coupled<br />

boundary condition <strong>de</strong>scribed in section III.C. The grid contains 121 × 31 × 31 hexahedral<br />

no<strong>de</strong>s for channel 1 and 121 ×21 ×31 hexahedral no<strong>de</strong>s for channel 2. This difference is due<br />

to the lower values of Reynolds numbers imposed in channel 2 in the LARA experiment.<br />

In the experiment, far enough from the si<strong>de</strong> walls, the velocity profiles upstream of<br />

the perforated zone correspond to fully <strong>de</strong>veloped channel flow profiles. In the <strong>simulation</strong>,<br />

imposing the mean streamwise velocity profile at the inl<strong>et</strong> is not a satisfying approach: the<br />

flow needs a too long distance to <strong>de</strong>stabilize and recover the characteristics of a fully turbulent<br />

channel. Thus it has been <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to accelerate this transition by using the Random Flow<br />

Generation (RFG) algorithm 41,42 to make the fluid velocity vary in time and space at the<br />
