Refined subgrid-scale model for large-eddy simulation of helical turbulence

Refined subgrid-scale model for large-eddy simulation of helical turbulence.

A refined two-term helical subgrid-scale (SGS) stress model with respect to that suggested by Li et al. [Phys. Rev. E 74, 026310 (2006)] is designed for large-eddy simulation (LES) of helical turbulence. The model coefficients in the new model are verified a priori to be scale invariant in inertial range, which proves that our model is local in scale. A dynamic method based on minimizing the re...

Subgrid-scale modeling for Large-eddy simulations of compressible turbulence

We present two phenonmenological subgrid-scale (SGS) models for large-eddy simulations (LES) of compressible turbulent flows. A nonlinear model and a stretched-vortex model are tested in LES of compressible decaying isotropic turbulence. Results of LES at 32 resolution are compared to corresponding 256 direct numerical simulations (DNS). We use numerical schemes based on compact differences and...

A new subgrid eddy-viscosity model for large-eddy simulation of anisotropic turbulence

A new subgrid eddy-viscosity model is proposed in this paper. Full details of the derivation of the model are given with the assumption of homogeneous turbulence. The formulation of the model is based on the dynamic equation of the structure function of resolved scale turbulence. By means of the local volume average, the effect of the anisotropy is taken into account in the generalized Kolmogor...

Numerical dissipation vs. subgrid-scale modelling for large eddy simulation

This study presents an alternative way to perform large eddy simulation based on a targeted numerical dissipation introduced by the discretization of the viscous term. It is shown that this regularisation technique is equivalent to the use of spectral vanishing viscosity. The flexibility of the method ensures high-order accuracy while controlling the level and spectral features of this purely n...
