Abstract
We describe a procedure for large eddy simulations of turbulence which uses the subgrid-scale estimation model and truncated Navier-Stokes dynamics to provide a physically realistic model of unresolved, subgrid scales. In the procedure the large eddy simulation equations are advanced in time with the subgrid-scale stress tensor calculated from the parallel solution of the truncated Navier-Stokes equations on a mesh two times finer in each Cartesian direction than the mesh employed for a discretization of the resolved quantities. The truncated NavierStokes equations are solved through a sequence of runs, each initialized using the subgrid-scale estimation model. The modeling procedure is illustrated on the example of forced and decaying isotropic turbulence.
