Overview
The Synthetic Turbulence Inflow generator is a method to produce an inflow boundary condition that results in turbulent flow in a short downstream distance. This method is desired to be more computationally efficient than resolving a flow through from transition. This page will cover the workflow to produce the necessary auxiliary files for running a simulation with the STG boundary condition. There are three auxiliary files that are needed for the method in the n-procs_case directory at runtime:
- STGInflow.dat
- STGSpectra.dat
- STGRand.dat
STGInflow.dat
This is a file that will contain the mean velocity profiles, mean cross correlation targets, and any additional turbulence modeled scalars.
STGSpectra.dat
This file will contain the N spectral modes for each node that has the STG the boundary condition.
STGRand.dat
This file will contain random numbers for the N spectral modes. This is not a spatially varying set of numbers as the spectra is.
