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.

Dynamic testing of subgrid models in large eddy simulation based on the Germano identity

Charles Meneveau, +1 more
- 06 Jan 1999 - 
TL;DR: In this article, Liu et al. used the Germano identity in large eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent flows to evaluate model coefficients so as to minimize the square error associated with replacing a particular model in the identity.

Assessment of subgrid-scale models with a large-eddy simulation-dedicated experimental database: The pulsatile impinging jet in turbulent cross-flow

TL;DR: In this paper, a pulsatile hot-jet impinging a flat-plate in the presence of a cold turbulent cross-flow is reported, which involves different flow features encountered in complex configurations: shear/rotating regions, stagnation point, wall-turbulence and the propagation of a vortex ring along the wall.

Variational formulation of the Germano identity for the Navier Stokes equations

TL;DR: In this paper, the variational counterpart of the Germano identity for the large eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent flows is derived, and the performance of this identity in predicting the Smagorinsky eddy viscosity during the decay of homogeneous isotropic turbulence is evaluated.

Large‐eddy simulation of compressible flows using a spectral multidomain method

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-order, multidomain-based large-eddy simulation (LES) methodology for compressible flows is presented, where the LES model equations are approximated on unstructured grids of non-overlapping hexahedral sub-domains providing geometric flexibility.

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.
