Partially-averaged Navier-Stokes (PANS) approach has been recently developed as a possible bridging model between Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method and large-eddy simulations (LES). The resolution control parameters in PANS are the fractions of unresolved kinetic energy (fk) and unresolved dissipation (fε). We investigate the fixed-point behavior of PANS and present some preliminary results obtained using this model. By comparing the fixed-point behavior of PANS and URANS (unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) methods, the possible advantage of the former over the latter is explained. Initial results from two-dimensional simulations of flow past square results are also presented.

AbstractExistence principles are given for systems of differential equations with reflection of the argument. These are derived using fixed point analysis, specifically the Nonlinear Alternative. Then existence results are deduced for certain classes of first and second order equations with reflection of the argument.

This study investigates the Bak–Tang–Wiesenfeld sandpile using a renormalization group (RG) approach based on the similarity of L × L RG cells of different scales. The fundamental difficulty of this approach arises from the lack of full enumeration of all relaxations inside a RG cell as L ≥ 3. This study develops a simple sampling algorithm to sample the relaxations and applies this algorithm to the RG calculations for L = 3, 4, and 8. As the fixed point analysis shows, increasing L does not lead the resultant height probabilities toward the exact solution.
