Abstract

In this paper, a general introduction to the large-eddy simulation (LES) technique will be given. Modeling and numerical issues that are under study will be described to illustrate the capabilities and requirements of this techniques. A palette of applications will then be presented, chosen on the basis both of their scientific and technological importance, and to highlight the application of LES on a range of machines, with widely different computational capabilities.
