Multi-fidelity optimization methods promise a high-fidelity optimum at a cost only slightly greater than a low-fidelity optimization. This promise is seldom achieved in practice, due to the requirement that low- and high-fidelity models correlate well. In this article, we propose an efficient bi-fidelity shape optimization method for turbulent fluid-flow applications with Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) as the high- and low-fidelity models within a hierarchical-Kriging surrogate modelling framework.

The objective of this project was the analysis and the control of local truncation errors in large eddy simulations. We show that physical reasoning can be incorporated into the design of discretization schemes. Using systematic procedures, a non-linear discretization method is developed where numerical and turbulence-theoretical modeling are fully merged. The truncation error itself functions as an implicit turbulence model which accurately represents the effects of unresolved turbulence.

The adaptive local deconvolution method (ALDM) is proposed as a new nonlinear discretization scheme designed for implicit large-eddy simulation (ILES) of turbulent flows. In ILES the truncation error of the discretization of the convective terms functions as a subgrid-scale model. Therefore, the model is implicitly contained within the discretization, and an explicit computation of model terms becomes unnecessary.

A new approach for the construction of implicit subgrid-scale models for large-eddy simulation based on adaptive local deconvolution is proposed. An approximation of the unfiltered solution is obtained from a quasi-linear combination of local interpolation polynomials. The physical flux function is modeled by a suitable numerical flux function. The effective subgrid-scale model can be determined by a modified-differential equation analysis.

We give a summary of the derivation of an implicit subgrid-scale model for LES which is obtained from a new approach for the approximation of hyperbolic conservation laws. Adaptive local deconvolution is performed using a quasi-linear solution-adaptive combination of local interpolation polynomials. The physical flux function is substituted by a suitable numerical flux function. The truncation error has physical significance and effectively acts as subgrid-scale model. It can be determined by a modified-differential-equation analysis and is adjustable through free parameters. Computational results for Burgers equation show that the model with parameters identified by evolutionary optimization give significantly better results than other models.

A class of implicit Subgrid-Scale (SGS) models for Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) is obtained from a new approach for the finite-volume discretization of hyperbolic conservation laws. The extension of a standard deconvolution operator and the choice of a suitable numerical flux function result in a truncation error that can be forced to act as a physical turbulence model.
