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...

The " local-equilibrium " hypothesis that assumes a local balance between the viscous dissipation and the subgrid-scale dissipation at the same physical location in turbulent flow has been commonly used for turbulence modeling. For example, based on the local equilibrium hypothesis, Germano et al. (1991) and Moin et al. (1991) developed dynamic procedures for determining the model coefficients ...

The flow and turbulence in an IC engine cylinder were studied using the SSG variant of the Reynolds stress turbulence closure model. In-cylinder turbulence is characterized by strong turbulence anisotropy and flow rotation, which aid in air-fuel mixing. It is argued that solving the differential transport equations for each turbulent stress tensor component, as implied by second-moment closures...

In recent years field experiments have been undertaken in the lower atmosphere to perform a priori tests of subgrid-scale (SGS)models for large-eddy simulations (LES). The experimental arrangements and data collected have facilitated studies of variables such as the filtered strain rate, SGS stress and dissipation, and the eddy viscosity coefficient. However, the experimental set-ups did not pe...

Explicit filtering has the effect of reducing numerical or aliasing errors near the grid scale in large eddy simulation (LES). We use a differential filter, namely the inverse Helmholtz operator, which is readily applied to unstructured meshes. The filter is invertible, which allows the sub-filter scale (SFS) stresses to be exactly reconstructed in terms of the filtered solution. Unlike eddy vi...

Subgrid-scale (SGS) models for large eddy simulation (LES) have generally been evaluated by their ability to predict single-time statistics of turbulent ows such as kinetic energy and Reynolds stresses. Recent applications of large eddy simulation to the evaluation of sound sources in turbulent ows, a problem in which time correlations determine the frequency distribution of acoustic radiation,...

A pressure-based implicit procedure to solve the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations on a nonorthogonal mesh with collocated finite volume formulation is described. The boundedness criteria for this procedure are determined from Normalized Variable diagram (NVD) scheme.The procedure incorporates the ε−k eddy-viscosity turbulence model. The algorithm is tested for inviscid and turbulent transonic ...
