Abstract

A new methodology to construct three-dimensional, temporally stationary but spatially inhomogeneous, incompressible turbulence is presented. The method combines use of the data-driven spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) to identify and isolate large-scale coherent motions of the flow, together with a physics-based enrichment algorithm using spatiotemporally localized Gabor modes that capture the inertial subrange turbulence. This fusion of data-driven and physics-based methods enables a statistically correct reconstruction of broadband turbulent flows using fewer modes than would be required using SPOD alone. To demonstrate the approach, we consider the problem of reconstructing wake turbulence on a plane downstream of a dragging actuator disk impinged by homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The reconstructed flow has single- and two-point correlations that are consistent with the reference high-resolution simulation data and could be used to generate statistically consistent inflow boundary conditions for subsequent simulations.
