Wall-modeled LES of Turbulent Flow Over a Two-dimensional Gaussian BumpWe perform wall-modeled large eddy simulations (WMLES) of turbulent flow over
a nominally two-dimensional Gaussian-shaped bump geometry to assess its performance in the accelerating and separation regions of the flow. The flow conditions are based on high-fidelity numerical simulation of Uzun & Malik (AIAA Journal 2022). The oncoming flow Mach number is 0.2, with the bump length-based Reynolds number (ReL) of 2 million. In our previous study, while WMLES with the constant coefficient Vreman subgrid scale model and equilibrium wall
model performed satisfactorily at lower ReL = 1 million, it failed to predict flow separation at the higher Re, contrary to the experimental observations. We investigate the sensitivity of WMLES to different subgrid scale models, wall models, and grid resolution and topology on flow separation by comparing with available data.
