Abstract

The goal of this work is to investigate the feasibility of constructing data-driven dynamical system models of roughness-induced secondary flows in thermally stratified turbulent boundary layers. Considering the case of a surface roughness distribution which is homogeneous and heterogeneous in the streamwise and spanwise directions, respectively, we describe the streamwise averaged in-plane motions via a stream function formulation, thereby reducing the number of variables to the streamwise velocity component, an appropriately introduced stream function, and the temperature. Then, from the results of large eddy simulations, we perform a modal decomposition of each variable with the proper orthogonal decomposition and further utilize the temporal dynamics of the modal coefficients to construct a data-driven dynamical system model by applying the sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy). We also present a novel approach for enforcing spanwise reflection symmetry within the SINDy framework to incorporate a physical bias.
