Feasibility study of an adaptive large eddy simulation method

A novel method for simulating turbulent flows called Stochastic Coherent Adaptive Large Eddy Simulation (SCALES) is introduced. The theoretical basis for SCALES is presented using results from a priori testing of homogenious turbulence along with a novel Coherency Diagram of a turbulent field that physically relates Direct Numerical Simulation to different Large Eddy capturing methods, such as SCALES, CVS, LES and VLES. Results from a priori …
