CFDEM LES model shear velocity

Submitted by Detian Liu on Thu, 08/13/2015 - 20:40

Dear CFDEMers,

I set up a case with dynamic Smagorinsky LES model, but I found one thing that, with the smooth case, LES model can give great result, but if I put one layer of sediment (fixed at bottom), the LES model still give the shear velocity u* like smooth wall, but the RANS model (komegaSST model) can recognize the particles and give a larger shear velocity which is close to the experiment.

Has anyone has met the same problem and could give me some advice on this?

Thank you so much!
