The paper presents a consistent large eddy simulation (LES) framework which is particularly suited for implicitly filtered LES on unstructured finite volume (FV) codes.

The constants in the resulting mixed model are then computed trough a new, cheaper, dynamic procedure based on a consistent redefinition of the Germano identity within the new LES framework. The dynamic mixed model is implemented in a commercial, unstructured, finite volume solver and numerical tests are performed on the turbulent pipe flow at Reτ = 320−1142, showing the flexibility and improvements of the approach over classical modeling strategies.

Abstract

The paper presents a consistent large eddy simulation (LES) framework which is particularly suited for implicitly filtered LES on unstructured finite volume (FV) codes. From the analysis of the subgrid-scale (SGS) stress tensor arising in this new LES formulation, a novel form of scale-similar SGS model is proposed and combined with a classical eddy viscosityterm. The constants in the resulting mixed model are then computed trough a new, cheaper, dynamic procedure based on a consistent redefinition of the Germano identity within the new LES framework. The dynamic mixed model is implemented in a commercial, unstructured, finite volume solver and numerical tests are performed on the turbulent pipe flow at Reτ = 320−1142, showing the flexibility and improvements of the approach over classical modeling strategies.
