Abstract

One critical aspect of Leray models for the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of incompressible flows at moderately large Reynolds number (in the range of few thousands) is the selection of the filter radius. This drives the effective regularization of the filtering procedure, and its selection is a trade-off between stability (the larger, the better) and accuracy (the smaller, the better). In this paper, we consider the classical Leray-\(\alpha \) and a recently introduced (by one of the authors) Leray model with a deconvolution-based indicator function, called Leray-\(\alpha \)-NL. We investigate the sensitivity of the solutions to the filter radius by introducing the sensitivity systems, analyzing them at the continuous and discrete levels, and numerically testing them on two benchmark problems.
