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.

Large Eddy simulation of turbulent mixed convection in a 3D ventilated cavity: Comparison with existing data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the mixed convection airflow encountered in a 3D anisothermal cavity ventilated with supply and exhaust slots under stable thermal stratification, and they used an LES approach associated with a subgrid diffusivity model for natural convection airflows.

Alpha-modeling strategy for LES of turbulent mixing

TL;DR: In this article, a new subgrid parameterization of the turbulent stress tensor in large-eddy simulation (LES) is derived, which contains the filtered nonlinear gradient model as well as a model which represents Leray-regularization.

Prediction of the pressure distribution on a cubical building with implicit LES

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a numerical study of the flow around a cubical building in an atmospheric boundary layer, where different types of turbulence models, steady state RANS, hybrid RANS/LES and LES, are used.

A priori and a posteriori investigations for developing large eddy simulations of multi-species turbulent mixing under high-pressure conditions

TL;DR: In this article, a Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) database was created to represent mixing of species under high-pressure conditions, and the morphology of large-scale flow structures was examined and analyzed for the purpose of modeling some of the unclosed terms that appear in the LES equations.

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.
