Towards Large Eddy Simulation of Complex Flows

  • Conference paper
Book cover Advances in LES of Complex Flows

Part of the book series: Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications ((FMIA,volume 65))

Abstract

This paper aims at presenting a recent update on LES focusing on complex flows. The general principles will be discussed based on incompressible flows, but, when necessary, extensions will be made to both compressible and reacting flows. A few examples will be presented as to facilitate the discussion and to high light both the advance of LES and the pacing items still to be addressed. As a background for the discussiona few practical problems relevant to the industries’ needs will be provided.
