Abstract

In the present paper a high-order Discontinuous Galerkin method is presented for the numerical simulation of the turbulent flow around complex geometries using unstructured grids. In order to close the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) system we use the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model, the Wilcox K-ω turbulence model or a Detached Eddy Simulation technique. The paper includes some details of the code implementation. The excellent parallelisation characteristics of the scheme are demonstrated, achieved by hiding communication latency behind computation. Some results, like flows over a flat plate and around a sphere, which could not be predicted with an Unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes calculation, are calculated with high accuracy and compared with theory and experiments.
