Abstract

One method for generating synthetic turbulence, i.e., the synthetic eddy method, is tested by means of the example of canonical turbulent shear flows (plane-channel and boundary-layer flows). A modification of the method, differing from the original version by the determination of the linear scale of synthetic eddy structures, is proposed. The synthetic field of turbulent fluctuations evolves more quickly to the physically realistic one when the modified method is used instead of the original one. The friction coefficient and profiles of the average velocity and Reynolds stresses also deviate less and recover faster if the modified method is used.
