A computational code based on the hybrid RANS-LES approach is developed.The hybrid approach combines the delayed detached-eddy simulation ( DDES ) with an improved RANS-LES hybrid model aiming at wall modeling in LES ( WMLES ) .In the code , the convective flux is solved using the fourth-order skew-symmetric scheme so as to diminish the negative effect of numerical dissipation.The Spalart-Allmaras ( S-A ) model is applied as a subgrid scale ( SGS ) model.To validate the developed code , homogeneous isotropic turbulence and turbulent channel flow are simulated and the results are compared with experimental data and DNS results.The results of the isotropic turbulence show that the fourth-order skew-symmetric scheme is adequate enough and the model works well coupling with the convective scheme.The results of the turbulent channel flow agree well with the DNS data , the predicted velocity profiles at Reynolds number from 178to 2 700match well with the Reichardt′s law , and the organized vortical structures are well captured.
