Abstract

The 2.5-dimensional model of the turbulent field near a wall, proposed by Hatziavramidis & Hanratty (1979) and modified by Chapman & Kuhn (1981), has been used to test the subgrid models of Schumann (1973, 1975) and Moin & Kim (1982). The results are disquieting, both trends and orders of magnitude sometimes being seriously in error. It also appears that the contribution of the subgrid energy to the pseudopressure calculated in large-eddy simulations can be large, although this contribution is usually neglected. On the positive side, Leonard's model for the Leonard stress is extremely good, and Schumann's synthetic boundary condition is also found to be reliable.

These results must be taken with a grain of salt, since the tests reported in §5 show that the 2.5-dimensional model cannot reproduce important characteristics of the turbulence in the neighbourhood of y+ = 40.
