Abstract:
The first fractional model for Reynolds stresses in wall-bounded turbulent flows was proposed by Wen Chen [2]. Here, we extend this formulation by allowing the fractional order alpha(y) of the model to vary with the distance from the wall (y) for turbulent Couette flow. Using available direct numerical simulation (DNS) data, we formulate an inverse problem for alpha(y) and design a physics-informed neural network (PINN) to obtain the fractional order. Surprisingly, we found a universal scaling law for alpha(y(+)), where y(+) is the non-dimensional distance from the wall in wall units. Therefore, we obtain a variable-order fractional model that can be used at any Reynolds number to predict the mean velocity profile and Reynolds stresses with accuracy better than 1%.
