Large Eddy Simulation of Hypersonic Turbulent Boundary Layers

The recent revival of interest in developing new hypersonic vehicles brings attention to the need for accurate prediction flows by computational methods. One challenges is aerothermodynamic loading over surface vehicles. Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) methods have not shown consistent accuracy such flows. Therefore, including Large Eddy Simulations (LES) should be investigated. In this paper, LES method used boundary layer a flat plate. A recycling-rescaling tested. uses total enthalpy and static pressure along with velocity components produce best results Law Wall, turbulent statistics Prandtl number.
