TLDR
In this paper, the subgrid-scale closure method developed by Germano et al. is modified by use of a least squares technique to minimize the difference between the closure assumption and the resolved stresses.
Abstract
The subgrid‐scale closure method developed by Germano et al. is modified by use of a least squares technique to minimize the difference between the closure assumption and the resolved stresses. This modification removes a source of singularity and is believed to improve the method’s applicability.

Numerical investigation of cone angle effect on the flow field and separation efficiency of deoiling hydrocyclones

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of cone angle on the flow field and separation efficiency of deoiling hydrocyclones is investigated taking advantage of large eddy simulation, and the dynamic Smagorinsky is employed to determine the residual stress tensor of the continuous phase.

Subgrid analysis of liquid jet atomization

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of large eddy simulations of a liquid fuel injection in combustion chambers is studied, where a complete liquid jet atomization, from the injector down to the end of the liquid core, is simulated thanks to the coupling of both level set and VOF formulations.

Molecular diffusion effects in LES of a piloted methane–air flame

TL;DR: In this paper, molecular diffusion effects in LES of a piloted methane-air (Sandia D) flame are investigated on a series of grids with progressively increased resolution, based on the mixture fraction approach combined with a steady flamelet model.

Large-eddy simulation of the turbulent structure in compound open-channel flows

TL;DR: In this paper, a large-eddy simulation study has been undertaken to investigate the turbulent structure of open-channel flow in an asymmetric compound channel, with the partial cell treatment being implemented using a Cartesian grid structure to deal with the floodplain.

General circulation experiments with the primitive equations

TL;DR: In this article, an extended period numerical integration of a baroclinic primitive equation model has been made for the simulation and the study of the dynamics of the atmosphere's general circulation, and the solution corresponding to external gravitational propagation is filtered by requiring the vertically integrated divergence to vanish identically.

A dynamic subgrid‐scale eddy viscosity model

TL;DR: In this article, a new eddy viscosity model is presented which alleviates many of the drawbacks of the existing subgrid-scale stress models, such as the inability to represent correctly with a single universal constant different turbulent fields in rotating or sheared flows, near solid walls, or in transitional regimes.

A dynamic subgrid‐scale model for compressible turbulence and scalar transport

TL;DR: Germano et al. as discussed by the authors generalized the dynamic subgrid-scale (SGS) model for the large eddy simulation (LES) of compressible flows and transport of a scalar.

On the application of the eddy viscosity concept in the Inertial sub-range of turbulence

K. Lilly
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that an eddy diffusion hypothesis for use in numerical solutions of turbulent flow problems is consistent with the existence of an inertial subrange at the smallest resolvable scale of the numerical model.
