TY  - JOUR
AB  - An extended version of the synthetic eddy method for generation of synthetic turbulence has been developed via asource term formulation and implemented in the open-source cross-platform solver PyFR. The method caters for thefull space-dependent anisotropy of the target turbulent length scales, and it is agnostic of the space and timediscretization of the underlying solver, which can be incompressible or compressible. Moreover, the method doesnot require each solution point to communicate with nearest neighbors; thus, it is well suited for modern, massivelyparallel, high-order unstructured codes which support mixed and possibly curved elements. The method has beenapplied to two test cases: incompressible plane channel flow at Reτ   180 and compressible flow over an SD7003aerofoil at Re   66;000, Ma   0.2, and α   4 deg. The channel flow case was run on three topologically differentmeshes composed of hexahedra, prisms, and a combination of prisms and tetrahedra, respectively. Almost identicalresults have been obtained on the three meshes. Results also show that taking into account the anisotropy of theturbulent length scales can reduce the development length. For the SD7003 aerofoil case, the injection of syntheticturbulence improves agreement between numerical and experimental results.
