Large-Eddy Simulations: Theory and Applications

  • Chapter
Turbulence and Transition Modelling

Part of the book series: Series ((ERCO,volume 2))

Abstract

Over twenty years have passed since the first large eddy simulation (Les) results by Deardorff (1970) were published. During this period, this technique has matured considerably: the underlying theory has been advanced, new models have been developed and tested, more efficient numerical schemes have been used. The progress in computer power and memory has made possible the application of Les to a variety of flows, compressible and incompressible, including heat transfer, stratification, passive scalars and chemical reactions.
