Re: [Question #244604]: Turbulent flow by PFV method
Question #244604 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/244604
Status: Open => Answered
Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Nope.
The current formulation is rooted in Stokes assumption (viscous/laminar/creeping flow). Inertial effects are disregarded, hence no turbulence.
There may be ways to include some inertial terms (the dv/dt of Navier-Stokes). We did some preliminary work about this.
Yet, turbulence comes from the v.∇v, and for this one it is still an open question how it could be included in the PFV framework (if only it is possible, I doubt it).
It could be reflected somehow in a non linear form of the Poiseuille law. It would be similar to - speaking at the macro scale - replacing Darcy's law by Forchheimer's law, but I would not call this a simulation of turbulent flow in itself.
