Abstract
Considering a generic scalar nonlinear transport equation for the variable v
the representation of the continuous solution v(x) by the grid function v N results in a subgrid-scale error or residual
which arises from the nonlinearity of F(v). The modified differential equation (MDE) for v N is
Since for LES the ratio between characteristic flow scale and grid size h never can be considered as asymptotically small \(\mathcal{G}_{SGS}\) cannot be neglected for proper evolution of v N but requires approximation by modeling closures.
Once deconvolution operation and numerical flux function are determined, the modified-differential-equation analysis leads to an evolution equation of \(\bar{u}_{N}\) in the form of
where
is the truncation error of the discretization scheme. If \({\mathcal{G}}_{N}\) approximates \(\bar{{\mathcal{G}}}_{SGS}\) in some sense we obtain an implicit subgrid-scale model implied by the discretization scheme.
