What are the main differences between DNS, LES and RANS calculations? [closed]

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

I would also add hybrid RANS/LES methods to the question since they are becoming very popular lately. – gmonvill Dec 28 '20 at 9:32
@gmonvill I think hybird RANS/LES methods and differences can be separate question – Kamil Kiełczewski Dec 28 '20 at 9:38

This will help you to create your own question: "idea": these question are mainly aimed at engineers who not create codes but rather try to find best tools for calculate concrete flow case (or compare them in general), find information of how to configure that tools (how to define geometry, grid, choose model etc.) to create simulation of concrete flow case, create grid, connect everything with visualisation layer (if it is not build-in) etc. – – Kamil Kiełczewski Nov 21 '20 at 10:10

I feel this question is way to broad, because the answer will be a list. I would rather taylor this question to a specific simulation goal. – Bernhard Dec 29 '20 at 13:22

@Kamil That looks a lot better. I am expecting the body of such a question to contain all the details of the intended simulation. – Bernhard Dec 29 '20 at 14:06

How to derive the Coriolis force in the Navier-Stokes equations? [closed]

closed as not a real question by warren, Big Brother, ppwater, TheSimpliFire, Nij Jan 30 at 3:13

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

Although this is a nice question, it is for me off-topic because it is about fluid dynamics, and not the modelling/computing aspect. – Bernhard Dec 29 '20 at 14:13
@Bernhard - in my opinion - form of equations have extremely impact in chose numerical approach - especially in nontrivial curvilinear coordinate systems. When you have Coroils force then you can use it to calculate Buoyancy force based on energy equation (for eg. ocean/atmosphere simulations...). If you write your solver (or part of solver) then also having explicit equations is needed – Kamil Kiełczewski Dec 30 '20 at 10:13
But when you're talking about writing the solver, it is about the discretization of the equation, rather than the derivation of the equation itself. If the question was "How to implement the Coriolis force in <whatever>" I would say it is on-topic. This question has a lot of upvotes, however, it also has three close votes. – Bernhard Dec 30 '20 at 16:24

interesting question - I don't get why some people give vote down (without comments) – Kamil Kiełczewski Nov 25 '20 at 15:41
2  
@Kamil - probably because it's a simple "yes/no" question...and not a likely good fit for an SE site – warren Nov 28 '20 at 3:21
1  
@warren - in stack overflow (SO) such question also appears - but implicity everybody who give answers assume that answerer must give some kind of proof/explanation (like example code snippet or something) - if someone give answer in SO without proof/expalanation he will get minus votes for such answer. So in my point of view such questions are not a problem - eventually question author can change "Is it possible" to "Is it possible (and how)" - but this is only technical language detail... – Kamil Kiełczewski Nov 28 '20 at 10:48
2  
@Kamil - just because these questions have appeared in the past does not make them good now. If you want to get the proposal to go anywhere, there need to be good sample questions. This is a lousy sample question. – warren Dec 8 '20 at 19:34

The answer to this question is probably a Bachelor thesis. I don't think it is really answerable in SO format. Although I didn't downvote, because that's not constructive, I do understand the downvotes. – Bernhard Dec 30 '20 at 16:26
Actually I know answer to this question (and put it here only as example): in my case the normalisation of NS equations cause different values of Q criterion (this is way I write that I put formulas). The above question not have details because this is only "example" and it looks like Area51 alows to put only question titles – Kamil Kiełczewski Dec 30 '20 at 17:59

closed as duplicate of Is it possible for a visco-elastic fluid to have a memory kernel that is not convex? by warren, Big Brother, ppwater, niamulbengali, Nij Jan 4 at 12:44

This question covers exactly the same ground as another question in this proposal.

@Kamil: they're exactly the same type of question - that's probably why it got VtC'd – warren Jan 5 at 13:36
1  
@warren but answers can be totally different - so it doesn't mean that questions are equal. It is not bad nor forbidden to ask similar but not equal questions – Kamil Kiełczewski Jan 5 at 14:29
2  
@Kamil: you missed the point: propose types of questions that should appear. You can ask far more "sample questions" when you stick to the "pattern" method. Eg, "Why is {php} preferred to {python} when writing a {simple website}?" That pattern / question type encompasses 100s of real questions. "Is it possible for a visco-elastic fluid to have a memory kernel that is non-monotonic?" is *exactly the same type* of question as "Is it possible for a visco-elastic fluid to have a memory kernel that is not convex?" And both are *bad* because they're yes/no questions. – warren Jan 5 at 14:38

Hi, just as a reminder, you aren't meant to answer example questions. – Z9. Dec 24 '20 at 6:41
