Bayesian model-scenario averaged predictions of compressor cascade flows under uncertain turbulence models

Résumé

The Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations represent the computational workhorse for engineering design, despite their numerous flaws. Improving and quantifying the uncertainties associated with RANS models is particularly critical in view of the analysis and optimization of complex turbomachinery flows. In this work, we use Bayesian inference for assimilating data into RANS models for the following purposes: (i) updating the model closure coefficients for a class of turbomachinery flows, namely a compressor cascade; (ii) quantifying the parametric uncertainty associated with closure coefficients of RANS models and (iii) quantifying the uncertainty associated with the model structure and the choice of the calibration dataset based on an ensemble of concurrent models and calibration scenarios. Inference of the coefficients of three widely employed RANS models is carried out from high-fidelity LES data for the NACA65 V103 compressor cascade [1, 2]. Posterior probability distributions of the model coefficients are collected for various calibration scenarios, corresponding to different values of the flow angle at inlet. The Maximum A Posteriori estimates of the coefficients differ from the nominal values and depend on the scenario. A recently proposed Bayesian mixture approach, namely, Bayesian Model-Scenario Averaging (BMSA) [3, 4], is used to build a prediction model that takes into account uncertainties associated with alternative model forms and with sensitivity to the calibration scenario. Stochastic predictions are presented for the turbulent flow around the NACA65 V103 cascade at mildly and severe off-design conditions. The results show that BMSA generally yields more accurate solutions than the baseline RANS models and succeeds well in providing an estimate for the predictive uncertainty intervals, provided that a sufficient diversity of scenarios and models is included in the mixture.
