Abstract
The solution concept of large-eddy simulation (LES) has been applied to simulate turbulent flow over and around a single cube mounted on the bottom of a plate channel for a Reynolds number of 50000 (based on the incoming mean bulk velocity and obstacle height). Here we present, as a first part of the evaluation of the data, a few interesting views of the time-dependent fields and results for the three-dimensional mean fields (velocity, vorticity, Reynolds stress, enstrophy, helicity). Having engineering application in mind, this flow problem represents an ideal case, which is very well suited for testing and validating numerical simulation techniques and turbulence models.
