Observations, Experiments, and Large Eddy Simulation

On integrating large eddy simulation and laboratory turbulent flow experiments.

Critical issues involved in large eddy simulation (LES) experiments relate to the treatment of unresolved subgrid scale flow features and required initial and boundary condition supergrid scale modelling. The inherently intrusive nature of both LES and laboratory experiments is noted in this context. Flow characterization issues becomes very challenging ones in validation and computational labo...

Applied large eddy simulation.

Large eddy simulation (LES) is now seen more and more as a viable alternative to current industrial practice, usually based on problem-specific Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) methods. Access to detailed flow physics is attractive to industry, especially in an environment in which computer modelling is bound to play an ever increasing role. However, the improvement in accuracy and flow d...

Adaptive Large Eddy Simulation

This project is focused on development of a novel approach, called Stochastic Coherent Adaptive Large Eddy Simulation (SCALES) for modeling and simulation of turbulent flows. The approach comes from the realization of the deficiency of the current Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach, which resolves only the large-scale motions instead of coherent energy containing flow structures. The SCALES a...

Temporal Large-Eddy Simulation

In 1999, Stolz and Adams [Phys. Fluids 11 (1999)] unveiled a subgrid-scale model for LES based upon approximately inverting (defiltering) the spatial grid-filter operator and termed .the approximate deconvolution model (ADM). Subsequently, the utility and accuracy of the ADM were demonstrated in a postenon analyses of flows as diverse as incompressible planechannel flow and supersonic compressi...
