the parallel processing with low efficiency Thus a highlyparallel scheme is extremely helpful to those large-scalesimulations of turbulent flow field

Lattice Boltzmannmethod (LBM) has been regarded as apromising candidate for years due to its major merits of fullyparallel algorithm Unlike conventional numerical schemesbased on assumption and discretizations of macroscopiccontinuum the LBM adopts microscopic models [3] Otheradvantages of LBM include (1) easy treatment of boundaryconditions and (2) easy programming As a result the LBMhas its wide application in scientific and engineering researchsuch as Biofluid and porous medium [4ndash6] However toresolve the turbulent flow LBM-based DNS and LES requirea very high grid resolution and thus huge computationresource is needed

Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) brings excellent hard-ware conditions for these simulations With the develop-ment of computing platforms for example CUDA [7] andOpenCL the use of GPU to accelerate nongraphic computa-tions has drawn much more attention [8 9] Due to its highperformance of floating-point arithmetic operation togetherwith wide memory bandwidth and good programmabilitygeneral-purpose GPU (GPGPU) has its huge advantage overCPU in turbulent flow simulation [10ndash12] and thus hasbeen applied in fields like weather prediction crystal growthprocess and air flow in the city [13ndash15]

The feasibility for LBM-based DNS has some preliminaryvalidation for turbulent flows between parallel plates [16]further verification for JICF is still empty In this paper thelattice Boltzmann based DNS on JICF model is performedusing D3Q19model in multi-GPUs With further validationof this code this paper aims to resolve the JICF flow fieldincluding the time-averaged and instantaneous velocitiesvorticities and turbulent quantities of Reynolds stress Thecharacteristic coherent hairpin structures are also revealedand discussed

3 GPU Settings

A well-known inherent advantage of lattice Boltzmannmethod is its parallelism Previous study [20] compared theacceleration performance between Navier-Stokes solver andcurrent LBM solver in which incompressible flow arounda cylinder was simulated on GPU (GeForce GTX280) andCPU (XeonE5420 25GHz) separately For theNavier-Stokessolver in which Red-Black scheme and multi-grids wereapplied the GPU acceleration over CPU was 137 Compar-atively for LBM on the same grid scale the acceleration was874 In addition to the acceleration performance of LBM onGPU as mentioned the difficulty of coding is much smallerfor LBM than Navier-Stokes on GPU

However the expense to LBMrsquos parallelism is also obviousdue to substantial variables and consequent huge memoryconsumption For the D3Q19 model in single precision cal-culation the theoretical GPU memory requirement on 15 times108 grids (1024times 256times 600) is over 30G Besides data transferbetween GPUs is realized byMPI (message passing interface)and CudaMemcpy() sentences in CUDA From the previousexperience [11] if the number of GPUs is less than 10 the1119863 domain partitioning is more efficient than 2119863 and 3119863 Inthe current research 6GPUs of Nvidia Tesla K20M are used

The 2119863 instantaneous velocity (119906 V) and time-averagedvelocity (119880119881) fields are displayed at locations = 05119863 1119863and 2119863 respectively in Figure 9The corresponding vorticitydistributions are also displayed in the figure In Figure 9(a)the instantaneous velocity vectors and vorticity distributionsat time step 80000 are shown Separation of mainstreamoccurs near the mid-chord portion Further vortex sheddingand dissipation are observed in the downstream area Wakeregion is formed at the backside of the jet A characteristicflow pattern of the wake by the transverse jet is obtainedwhich is significantly different from that by a solid cylinder asdescribed in [1] In Figures 9(b) and 9(c) the time-averagedvelocity vectors and vorticity distributions are displayedSimilar to flow passing a solid cylinder along the stream-wise direction positive and negative values appear when

the mainstream starts to separate In downstream region thevorticity recovers to trivial values due to the dissipation ofthose periodically-shed vortices

the parallel processing with low efficiency Thus a highlyparallel scheme is extremely helpful to those large-scalesimulations of turbulent flow field

Lattice Boltzmannmethod (LBM) has been regarded as apromising candidate for years due to its major merits of fullyparallel algorithm Unlike conventional numerical schemesbased on assumption and discretizations of macroscopiccontinuum the LBM adopts microscopic models [3] Otheradvantages of LBM include (1) easy treatment of boundaryconditions and (2) easy programming As a result the LBMhas its wide application in scientific and engineering researchsuch as Biofluid and porous medium [4ndash6] However toresolve the turbulent flow LBM-based DNS and LES requirea very high grid resolution and thus huge computationresource is needed

Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) brings excellent hard-ware conditions for these simulations With the develop-ment of computing platforms for example CUDA [7] andOpenCL the use of GPU to accelerate nongraphic computa-tions has drawn much more attention [8 9] Due to its highperformance of floating-point arithmetic operation togetherwith wide memory bandwidth and good programmabilitygeneral-purpose GPU (GPGPU) has its huge advantage overCPU in turbulent flow simulation [10ndash12] and thus hasbeen applied in fields like weather prediction crystal growthprocess and air flow in the city [13ndash15]

The feasibility for LBM-based DNS has some preliminaryvalidation for turbulent flows between parallel plates [16]further verification for JICF is still empty In this paper thelattice Boltzmann based DNS on JICF model is performedusing D3Q19model in multi-GPUs With further validationof this code this paper aims to resolve the JICF flow fieldincluding the time-averaged and instantaneous velocitiesvorticities and turbulent quantities of Reynolds stress Thecharacteristic coherent hairpin structures are also revealedand discussed

3 GPU Settings

A well-known inherent advantage of lattice Boltzmannmethod is its parallelism Previous study [20] compared theacceleration performance between Navier-Stokes solver andcurrent LBM solver in which incompressible flow arounda cylinder was simulated on GPU (GeForce GTX280) andCPU (XeonE5420 25GHz) separately For theNavier-Stokessolver in which Red-Black scheme and multi-grids wereapplied the GPU acceleration over CPU was 137 Compar-atively for LBM on the same grid scale the acceleration was874 In addition to the acceleration performance of LBM onGPU as mentioned the difficulty of coding is much smallerfor LBM than Navier-Stokes on GPU

However the expense to LBMrsquos parallelism is also obviousdue to substantial variables and consequent huge memoryconsumption For the D3Q19 model in single precision cal-culation the theoretical GPU memory requirement on 15 times108 grids (1024times 256times 600) is over 30G Besides data transferbetween GPUs is realized byMPI (message passing interface)and CudaMemcpy() sentences in CUDA From the previousexperience [11] if the number of GPUs is less than 10 the1119863 domain partitioning is more efficient than 2119863 and 3119863 Inthe current research 6GPUs of Nvidia Tesla K20M are used

4 Physical and Numerical Models

The physical model of the jet in cross flow problem is shownin Figure 4 The computational domain is hexahedral inshape The mainstream flow is in 119909-direction while the jetis orthogonal to the mainstream in 119911-direction and ejectedfrom the bottom plane uniformly with diameter 119863 Originof the coordinates is located at the center of the roundjet exit The flow domain is zero-gradient in pressure and

no-slip boundary conditions are applied on the bottom planeexcluding the jet exit On transverse planes (with normalin 119910-direction) periodic boundary conditions are appliedThe inlet turbulent profile of velocity is given through acalculation procedure similar to the so-called ldquorescalingprocessrdquo as described in [21] The results presented in thispaper are based on flow parameters and boundary conditionslisted as follows

(i) Ejecting hole diameter (119863) = 75(ii) Domain length (119871119909119863 = (1198711199091+1198711199092)119863 = 5+7) = 12(iii) Domain span (119871119910119863) = 34

V10158402 + 11990810158402) The corresponding turbulent power spectrum

is presented versus frequency as shown in Figure 7 Thecalculated turbulence decay rate is close to the theoreticalcanonical value of minus53 and no obvious spectrum buildupis observed which indicate the current mesh resolution isadequate

The above equation is the LBGK model in which 120591 = 120582120575119905

2120575119905 Equation (5) is usually solved in a standard

way assuming 120575119905 = 1 and divided into two steps as followsCollision step is as follows

the distribution function Please note that in the collision step119891119894is calculated absolutely locally and in streaming step 119891

3 GPU Settings

A well-known inherent advantage of lattice Boltzmannmethod is its parallelism Previous study [20] compared theacceleration performance between Navier-Stokes solver andcurrent LBM solver in which incompressible flow arounda cylinder was simulated on GPU (GeForce GTX280) andCPU (XeonE5420 25GHz) separately For theNavier-Stokessolver in which Red-Black scheme and multi-grids wereapplied the GPU acceleration over CPU was 137 Compar-atively for LBM on the same grid scale the acceleration was874 In addition to the acceleration performance of LBM onGPU as mentioned the difficulty of coding is much smallerfor LBM than Navier-Stokes on GPU

However the expense to LBMrsquos parallelism is also obviousdue to substantial variables and consequent huge memoryconsumption For the D3Q19 model in single precision cal-culation the theoretical GPU memory requirement on 15 times108 grids (1024times 256times 600) is over 30G Besides data transferbetween GPUs is realized byMPI (message passing interface)and CudaMemcpy() sentences in CUDA From the previousexperience [11] if the number of GPUs is less than 10 the1119863 domain partitioning is more efficient than 2119863 and 3119863 Inthe current research 6GPUs of Nvidia Tesla K20M are used

4 Physical and Numerical Models

The physical model of the jet in cross flow problem is shownin Figure 4 The computational domain is hexahedral inshape The mainstream flow is in 119909-direction while the jetis orthogonal to the mainstream in 119911-direction and ejectedfrom the bottom plane uniformly with diameter 119863 Originof the coordinates is located at the center of the roundjet exit The flow domain is zero-gradient in pressure and

no-slip boundary conditions are applied on the bottom planeexcluding the jet exit On transverse planes (with normalin 119910-direction) periodic boundary conditions are appliedThe inlet turbulent profile of velocity is given through acalculation procedure similar to the so-called ldquorescalingprocessrdquo as described in [21] The results presented in thispaper are based on flow parameters and boundary conditionslisted as follows

(i) Ejecting hole diameter (119863) = 75(ii) Domain length (119871119909119863 = (1198711199091+1198711199092)119863 = 5+7) = 12(iii) Domain span (119871119910119863) = 34

V10158402 + 11990810158402) The corresponding turbulent power spectrum

is presented versus frequency as shown in Figure 7 Thecalculated turbulence decay rate is close to the theoreticalcanonical value of minus53 and no obvious spectrum buildupis observed which indicate the current mesh resolution isadequate

(1) A turbulent boundary layer is observed before the jet(119909 = minus2119863 119910 = 1198731198842) consisting of laminar sublayerand turbulent core After the jet at 119909 = 05119863 119910 =

1198731198842 and 119909 = 3119863 119910 = 1198731198842 time-averaged stream-wise and spanwise velocity components (119880119880

4 Physical and Numerical Models

The physical model of the jet in cross flow problem is shownin Figure 4 The computational domain is hexahedral inshape The mainstream flow is in 119909-direction while the jetis orthogonal to the mainstream in 119911-direction and ejectedfrom the bottom plane uniformly with diameter 119863 Originof the coordinates is located at the center of the roundjet exit The flow domain is zero-gradient in pressure and

no-slip boundary conditions are applied on the bottom planeexcluding the jet exit On transverse planes (with normalin 119910-direction) periodic boundary conditions are appliedThe inlet turbulent profile of velocity is given through acalculation procedure similar to the so-called ldquorescalingprocessrdquo as described in [21] The results presented in thispaper are based on flow parameters and boundary conditionslisted as follows

(i) Ejecting hole diameter (119863) = 75(ii) Domain length (119871119909119863 = (1198711199091+1198711199092)119863 = 5+7) = 12(iii) Domain span (119871119910119863) = 34

61 Energy Spectra Fast Fourier transformation (FFT) isperformed to a time series of turbulent energy 119864tur at thesample frequency of 2000 at 119909 = 6119863 119911 = 4119863 and 119910 =

1198731198842 The turbulent energy is defined as 119864tur = (12)(11990610158402+

V10158402 + 11990810158402) The corresponding turbulent power spectrum

is presented versus frequency as shown in Figure 7 Thecalculated turbulence decay rate is close to the theoreticalcanonical value of minus53 and no obvious spectrum buildupis observed which indicate the current mesh resolution isadequate

the mainstream starts to separate In downstream region thevorticity recovers to trivial values due to the dissipation ofthose periodically-shed vortices

The 2119863 time-averaged velocity (119881119882) fields are presentedin several streamwise planes at locations 119909 = 1119863 15119863and 3119863 in Figures 10(a) 10(b) and 10(c) respectively withvorticity distributions As shown in Figures 10(a) and 10(b)the CRVP system consists of two layers the upper one andthe lower one For a round hole as used in the current studythe rotating directions of the two pairs are the same Thisldquotwo-deckrdquo vortices structure is very similar to that observedin [2] by laser-induced fluorescence By comparing amongFigures 10(a) 10(b) and 10(c) it is found that when movingdownstream the vertical component (119882) of the 2119863 velocityreduces because of the jetrsquos bending At the same time

1198731198842 The turbulent energy is defined as 119864tur = (12)(11990610158402+

V10158402 + 11990810158402) The corresponding turbulent power spectrum

is presented versus frequency as shown in Figure 7 Thecalculated turbulence decay rate is close to the theoreticalcanonical value of minus53 and no obvious spectrum buildupis observed which indicate the current mesh resolution isadequate

the mainstream starts to separate In downstream region thevorticity recovers to trivial values due to the dissipation ofthose periodically-shed vortices

The 2119863 time-averaged velocity (119881119882) fields are presentedin several streamwise planes at locations 119909 = 1119863 15119863and 3119863 in Figures 10(a) 10(b) and 10(c) respectively withvorticity distributions As shown in Figures 10(a) and 10(b)the CRVP system consists of two layers the upper one andthe lower one For a round hole as used in the current studythe rotating directions of the two pairs are the same Thisldquotwo-deckrdquo vortices structure is very similar to that observedin [2] by laser-induced fluorescence By comparing amongFigures 10(a) 10(b) and 10(c) it is found that when movingdownstream the vertical component (119882) of the 2119863 velocityreduces because of the jetrsquos bending At the same time

61 Energy Spectra Fast Fourier transformation (FFT) isperformed to a time series of turbulent energy 119864tur at thesample frequency of 2000 at 119909 = 6119863 119911 = 4119863 and 119910 =

1198731198842 The turbulent energy is defined as 119864tur = (12)(11990610158402+

V10158402 + 11990810158402) The corresponding turbulent power spectrum

is presented versus frequency as shown in Figure 7 Thecalculated turbulence decay rate is close to the theoreticalcanonical value of minus53 and no obvious spectrum buildupis observed which indicate the current mesh resolution isadequate

the middle plane of 119910-direction (119910 = 1198731198842) are plottedin Figures 8(a) 8(b) and 8(c) respectively The correspond-ing vorticity distributions based on the time-averaged andinstantaneous velocities are also shown in the figure In Figure8(a) the vertical jet is bended toward exit by the mainstreamflow and phenomenon like flow passing a solid obstacle isobserved in the wake region As shown in the enlarging plotof flow field the approaching wall boundary layer meets withadverse pressure gradient before the jet and consequentlyseparates and forms the horseshoe vortex Considering thevorticity field negative and positive values are observed inleading edge and trailing edge along the jet trajectory andtrivial values exist in the wake region Instantaneous velocityand vorticity fields at time steps 80000 and 120000 areshown in Figures 8(b) and 8(c) respectively Generation andshedding of Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices are introduced by theshear layers between the mainstream and the jet on bothleading edge and trailing edge The shed vortices are mixingwith the mainstream and dissipated in the downstreamregion quickly In the wake region of the jet wake vortices areobserved through those nontrivial vorticity values howeverno vortex tube is directly observed in this cross section viewTo compare the time-averaged fields with their instantaneouscounterparts the Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices are not availableafter averaging which proves the shear-layer induced vorticesare inherently unsteady and periodic

The 2119863 instantaneous velocity (119906 V) and time-averagedvelocity (119880119881) fields are displayed at locations = 05119863 1119863and 2119863 respectively in Figure 9The corresponding vorticitydistributions are also displayed in the figure In Figure 9(a)the instantaneous velocity vectors and vorticity distributionsat time step 80000 are shown Separation of mainstreamoccurs near the mid-chord portion Further vortex sheddingand dissipation are observed in the downstream area Wakeregion is formed at the backside of the jet A characteristicflow pattern of the wake by the transverse jet is obtainedwhich is significantly different from that by a solid cylinder asdescribed in [1] In Figures 9(b) and 9(c) the time-averagedvelocity vectors and vorticity distributions are displayedSimilar to flow passing a solid cylinder along the stream-wise direction positive and negative values appear when

the mainstream starts to separate In downstream region thevorticity recovers to trivial values due to the dissipation ofthose periodically-shed vortices

The 2119863 time-averaged velocity (119881119882) fields are presentedin several streamwise planes at locations 119909 = 1119863 15119863and 3119863 in Figures 10(a) 10(b) and 10(c) respectively withvorticity distributions As shown in Figures 10(a) and 10(b)the CRVP system consists of two layers the upper one andthe lower one For a round hole as used in the current studythe rotating directions of the two pairs are the same Thisldquotwo-deckrdquo vortices structure is very similar to that observedin [2] by laser-induced fluorescence By comparing amongFigures 10(a) 10(b) and 10(c) it is found that when movingdownstream the vertical component (119882) of the 2119863 velocityreduces because of the jetrsquos bending At the same time

7 Conclusion

A direct numerical simulation of jet in crossflow based onlattice Boltzmann method is performed on multi-GPUs Thecurrent simulation takes about 10 hours based on largest gridof 15 times 108 Several points can be summarized and concludedas follows

(1) A turbulent boundary layer is observed before the jet(119909 = minus2119863 119910 = 1198731198842) consisting of laminar sublayerand turbulent core After the jet at 119909 = 05119863 119910 =

1198731198842 and 119909 = 3119863 119910 = 1198731198842 time-averaged stream-wise and spanwise velocity components (119880119880

infinand

119882119880infin) are compared with experiments and good

agreement is obtained

The 2119863 instantaneous velocity (119906 V) and time-averagedvelocity (119880119881) fields are displayed at locations = 05119863 1119863and 2119863 respectively in Figure 9The corresponding vorticitydistributions are also displayed in the figure In Figure 9(a)the instantaneous velocity vectors and vorticity distributionsat time step 80000 are shown Separation of mainstreamoccurs near the mid-chord portion Further vortex sheddingand dissipation are observed in the downstream area Wakeregion is formed at the backside of the jet A characteristicflow pattern of the wake by the transverse jet is obtainedwhich is significantly different from that by a solid cylinder asdescribed in [1] In Figures 9(b) and 9(c) the time-averagedvelocity vectors and vorticity distributions are displayedSimilar to flow passing a solid cylinder along the stream-wise direction positive and negative values appear when

the mainstream starts to separate In downstream region thevorticity recovers to trivial values due to the dissipation ofthose periodically-shed vortices

The 2119863 time-averaged velocity (119881119882) fields are presentedin several streamwise planes at locations 119909 = 1119863 15119863and 3119863 in Figures 10(a) 10(b) and 10(c) respectively withvorticity distributions As shown in Figures 10(a) and 10(b)the CRVP system consists of two layers the upper one andthe lower one For a round hole as used in the current studythe rotating directions of the two pairs are the same Thisldquotwo-deckrdquo vortices structure is very similar to that observedin [2] by laser-induced fluorescence By comparing amongFigures 10(a) 10(b) and 10(c) it is found that when movingdownstream the vertical component (119882) of the 2119863 velocityreduces because of the jetrsquos bending At the same time

7 Conclusion

A direct numerical simulation of jet in crossflow based onlattice Boltzmann method is performed on multi-GPUs Thecurrent simulation takes about 10 hours based on largest gridof 15 times 108 Several points can be summarized and concludedas follows

(1) A turbulent boundary layer is observed before the jet(119909 = minus2119863 119910 = 1198731198842) consisting of laminar sublayerand turbulent core After the jet at 119909 = 05119863 119910 =

1198731198842 and 119909 = 3119863 119910 = 1198731198842 time-averaged stream-wise and spanwise velocity components (119880119880

(1) A turbulent boundary layer is observed before the jet(119909 = minus2119863 119910 = 1198731198842) consisting of laminar sublayerand turbulent core After the jet at 119909 = 05119863 119910 =

1198731198842 and 119909 = 3119863 119910 = 1198731198842 time-averaged stream-wise and spanwise velocity components (119880119880

infinand

119882119880infin) are compared with experiments and good

agreement is obtained

(2) The turbulent energy spectrum is plotted versusfrequency at 119909 = 6119863 119911 = 4119863 and 119910 = 1198731198842 A decayrate close to the theoretical value of minus53 is observed

(3) 2119863 velocity vectors and vorticity fields are plotted in119910- 119911- and 119909-direction planes Unsteady shear-layervortices are formed and shed along the leading andtrailing side of the jet trajectory Horseshoe vortex isgenerated in the plate boundary layer before the jetTwo-deck structure of the CRVP is retained and thelower pair is observed to rise along the streamwisedirection

(4) The normal components (11990610158401199061015840 and 11990810158401199081015840) and shearcomponent (11990610158401199081015840) of the Reynolds stress are revealedin the 119910 = 1198731198842 plane Strong anisotropy is observedfor the flow field due to the shear layer and wake

(5) Coherent structure represented by the second invari-ant of velocity gradient (119876) is plotted at differenttime steps The characteristic hair-pin vortices areobserved

(2) The turbulent energy spectrum is plotted versusfrequency at 119909 = 6119863 119911 = 4119863 and 119910 = 1198731198842 A decayrate close to the theoretical value of minus53 is observed

(3) 2119863 velocity vectors and vorticity fields are plotted in119910- 119911- and 119909-direction planes Unsteady shear-layervortices are formed and shed along the leading andtrailing side of the jet trajectory Horseshoe vortex isgenerated in the plate boundary layer before the jetTwo-deck structure of the CRVP is retained and thelower pair is observed to rise along the streamwisedirection

(4) The normal components (11990610158401199061015840 and 11990810158401199081015840) and shearcomponent (11990610158401199081015840) of the Reynolds stress are revealedin the 119910 = 1198731198842 plane Strong anisotropy is observedfor the flow field due to the shear layer and wake

(5) Coherent structure represented by the second invari-ant of velocity gradient (119876) is plotted at differenttime steps The characteristic hair-pin vortices areobserved
