Abstract [en]

Flush-mounted cavity hot-wire probes have emerged as an alternative to classical hot-wire probes mounted several diameters above the surface for wall-shear stress measurements. They aim at increasing the frequency response and accuracy by circumventing the well-known issue of heat transfer to the substrate that hot-wire and hot-film probes possess. Their use, however, depends on the assumption that the cavity does not influence the flow field. In this study, we show that this assumption does not hold, and that turbulence statistics are modified by the presence of the cavity with sizes that are practically in use. The mean velocity and fluctuations increase near the cavity while the shear stress decreases in its surroundings, all seemingly stemming from the fact that the no-slip condition is not present anymore and that flow reversal occurs. Overall, the energy spectra and the probability density function of the wall shear stress fluctuations indicate a change of nature of turbulence by the presence of the cavity.

Abstract [en]

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and direct numerical simulations (DNS),when applied to the study of turbulence, have traditionally been treated as acompute bound discipline, where the size of problems of interest is limited bythe capacity of supercomputers. While this remains true, the relatively recentadoption of specialized hardware such as graphics processing units (GPUs) hasallowed researchers to start studying problems that were not thought possiblebefore. This trend brings benefits for scientific discovery, however, it alsoaccentuates the importance of robust methodologies to manage and processthe increasing amount of data that is being produced by the simulations. Thepresent thesis explores techniques to process large scale data sets produced,mainly, by the spectral element method (SEM).This study explores the possibility to exploit the computational resourcesused by the simulations to perform data analysis and transformations in whatis termed, in-situ data processing. It is shown that it is viable to apply amultitude of processing tasks, such as data compression and image visualizationefficiently, as long as the hardware being used is taken into consideration, whichis relevant for modern heterogeneous systems. Furthermore it is shown that datacompression is an efficient technique to reduce storage requirements while keepingaccuracy, even for turbulence research. On this note, this thesis introduces amethod that incorporates uncertainty quantification (UQ) techniques for datacompression to facilitate the data quality evaluation.Data compression is a large focus in the present work, however, methodsto facilitate data analysis are also studied. Streaming and parallel modaldecompositions, in particular proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), aredeveloped and made available to the turbulence community with the additionof uncertainty quantification studies to ease its adoption. It is found thatthis sort of technique is excellent at increasing the interpretability of the data,while being able to exploit computational resources with in-situ execution.Additionally, parallel high-order interpolation techniques are introduced, whichbecome essential to reduce the memory footprint of large data sets whenperforming post-processing tasks, while aiding to simplify the data distributionof traditional SEM meshes.

Abstract [sv]

Beräkningsvätskedynamik (CFD) och direkta numeriska simuleringar (DNS)har, när de tillämpas på studien av turbulens, traditionellt behandlats som enberäkningsbegränsad disciplin där storleken på intressanta problem begränsas avsuperdatorers kapacitet. Även om detta fortfarande stämmer har den relativt nyaanvändningen av specialiserad hårdvara, såsom grafikprocessorer (GPU:er), gjortdet möjligt för forskare att börja studera problem som tidigare betraktades somoåtkomliga. Denna utveckling gynnar den vetenskapliga kunskapsutvecklingen,men den betonar också behovet av robusta metoder för att hantera och bear-beta den växande datamängd som genereras av simuleringarna. Föreliggandeavhandling undersöker tekniker för att bearbeta storskaliga datamängder somhuvudsakligen produceras med spektralelementmetoden (SEM).Denna studie utforskar möjligheten att utnyttja de beräkningsresurser somanvänds av simuleringarna för att utföra dataanalys och transformationer inomså kallad in situ-databehandling. Den belyser att det är möjligt att effektivtgenomföra en rad bearbetningsuppgifter, såsom datakomprimering och visualise-ring, under förutsättning att den använda hårdvaran beaktas, vilket är särskiltrelevant för moderna heterogena system. Vidare åskådliggörs att datakomprime-ring är en effektiv metod för att minska lagringsbehovet samtidigt som noggrann-heten bibehåll, även inom turbulensforskning. I detta sammanhang introduceraravhandlingen en metod som integrerar tekniker för osäkerhetskvantifiering (UQ)i datakomprimering för att underlätta bedömningen av datakvalitet.Datakomprimering är ett centralt fokus i arbetet, men även metodersom underlättar dataanalys studeras. Strömmande och parallella modalned-brytningar, i synnerhet Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), utveck-las och görs tillgängliga för turbulensfältet, kompletterade med studier avosäkerhetskvantifiering för att underlätta införandet. Det konstateras att dennatyp av teknik i hög grad ökar datans tolkbarhet samtidigt som den kan utnyttjaberäkningsresurser genom in situ. Dessutom introduceras parallella interpola-tionsmetoder av hög ordning, vilka är avgörande för att minska minnesavtryckethos stora datamängder vid efterbehandling och som samtidigt bidrar till attförenkla datadistributionen i traditionella SEM-nät.
