摘要:

随着雷诺平均纳维尔-斯托克斯(RANS)模拟在关键任务应用中的日益广泛应用,RANS模型中模型形式不确定性的量化已经引起湍流模拟界的关注。最近,已经提出了一种基于物理的非参数方法,用于量化RANS模拟中的模型形式的不确定性,其中雷诺应力被投影到物理上有意义的尺寸,并且扰动仅在物理上可实现的极限内引入。然而,与这种方法相关的挑战是评估先验分布中引入的信息量,并避免施加不必要的约束。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个随机矩阵的方法来量化模型形式的不确定性,在RANS模拟的雷诺应力的可实现性保证。此外,最大熵原理被用来识别的概率分布,满足现有的信息的约束,但不引入人为的约束。我们表明,所提出的方法是能够确保雷诺应力的可实现性,虽然从基于物理的方法以不同的方式。通过多项式混沌展开将独立的高斯随机场映射到雷诺应力随机场,并使其具有指定的边缘分布和相关结构,从而实现了对所得到的概率分布的Monte Carlo抽样。对一个典型的分离流动进行了数值模拟,得到了物理上合理的结果,验证了该方法的有效性。因此,所提出的方法是基于物理的方法的一种有前途的替代方法,用于RANS模拟的模型形式不确定性量化。本文所探索的方法具有普遍性,可推广到应用力学和工程中的其它复杂物理系统。

英文摘要:

With the ever-increasing use of Reynolds-Averaged Navier--Stokes (RANS) simulations in mission-critical applications, the quantification of model-form uncertainty in RANS models has attracted attention in the turbulence modeling community. Recently, a physics-based, nonparametric approach for quantifying model-form uncertainty in RANS simulations has been proposed, where Reynolds stresses are projected to physically meaningful dimensions and perturbations are introduced only in the physically realizable limits. However, a challenge associated with this approach is to assess the amount of information introduced in the prior distribution and to avoid imposing unwarranted constraints. In this work we propose a random matrix approach for quantifying model-form uncertainties in RANS simulations with the realizability of the Reynolds stress guaranteed. Furthermore, the maximum entropy principle is used to identify the probability distribution that satisfies the constraints from available information but without introducing artificial constraints. We demonstrate that the proposed approach is able to ensure the realizability of the Reynolds stress, albeit in a different manner from the physics-based approach. Monte Carlo sampling of the obtained probability distribution is achieved by using polynomial chaos expansion to map independent Gaussian random fields to the Reynolds stress random field with the marginal distributions and correlation structures as specified. Numerical simulations on a typical flow with separation have shown physically reasonable results, which verifies the proposed approach. Therefore, the proposed method is a promising alternative to the physics-based approach for model-form uncertainty quantification of RANS simulations. The method explored in this work is general and can be extended to other complex physical systems in applied mechanics and engineering.
