Abstract
This paper reports computational work of three-dimensional channel turbulent flow and rectangular duct flow with the Analytical Wall Function (AWF). The main purpose of this study is to establish and validate the new modeling of AWF for Large Eddy Simulation (LES-AWF). In order to compare the performance of the new modeling of LES-AWF, the conventional LES-AWF and Wall-resolved LES are applied. The new LES-AWF showed improvements of flow prediction in both of three-dimensional channel flow and rectangular duct flow, although the improvement in rectangular duct is relatively minor.
