Inertial Manifolds for Certain Subgrid-Scale α-Models of Turbulence

A modified-Leray-α subgrid scale model of turbulence

Inspired by the remarkable performance of the Leray-α (and the Navier–Stokes alpha (NS-α), also known as the viscous Camassa–Holm) subgrid scale model of turbulence as a closure model to Reynolds averaged equations (RANS) for flows in turbulent channels and pipes, we introduce in this paper another subgrid scale model of turbulence, the modified Leray-α (ML-α) subgrid scale model of turbulence....

Analytical Study of Certain Magnetohydrodynamic-α Models

In this paper we present an analytical study of a subgrid scale turbulence model of the threedimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations, inspired by the Navier-Stokes-α (also known as the viscous Camassa-Holm equations or the Lagrangian-averaged Navier-Stokes-α model. Specifically, we show the global well-posedness and regularity of solutions of a certain MHD-α model (which is a particular...

Can the dynamic eddy-viscosity class of subgrid-scale models capture inertial- range properties of Burgers turbulence?

The Dissipation Rate Transport Equation and Subgrid-Scale Models in Rotating Turbulence

The dissipation rate transport equation remains the most uncertain part of turbulence modeling. The difficulties are increased when external agencies like rotation prevent straightforward dimensional analysis from determining the correct form of the modelled equation. In this work, the dissipation rate transport equation and subgrid scale models for rotating turbulence are derived from an analy...

Large-eddy simulation of turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubes submerged in an emulated atmospheric boundary-layer

Turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubic obstacles has been numerically investigated using large-eddy simulation. The simulations have been performed using high-performance computations with local cluster systems. The array of cubes are fully submerged in a simulated deep rough-wall atmospheric boundary-layer with high turbulence intensity characteristics of environmental turbulent fl...
