2010 Tutorial School on Fluid Dynamics: Topics in Turbulence


Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) Theory

Charles Meneveau, Johns Hopkins University

Outline:  

Filtering and projections

  • definitions of subgrid or subfilter stresses and fluxes
  • scaling of subgrid scale stresses
  • von Karman-Howarth-Kolmogorov equation for filtered turbulence
  • subgrid dissipation of kinetic energy and other relevant statistical features of the SGS stress tensor
