LARGE EDDY SIMULATION OF NATURAL CONVECTION BOUNDARY LAYER ON A CYLINDER
Paper in proceeding, 2005
Large eddy simulation of natural convection boundary layer along a constant temperature
vertical cylinder is studied and the results are compared with the existing experimental
data. The highest local Grashof number is Gr_z=5*10^{11}. It is shown that although
there are some discrepancies between the results in the region close to the wall, there
is qualitative agreement between them. In order to verify the credibility of the
simulations, cross correlation of Reynolds stresses is studied and interpreted.
