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 the turbulent flow past a backward-facing step with heat transfer and property variations

TL;DR: In this paper, the heat transfer and fluid mechanics of a turbulent separating and reattaching flow past a backward-facing step are studied using large eddy simulation using a fully coupled, collocated-grid, low-Mach number preconditioned, compressible formulation employing central differences.

Large eddy simulation with a dynamic subgrid-scale model of turbulent heat transfer in an orthogonally rotating rectangular duct with transverse rib turbulators

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of transverse ribs, the Coriolis force, and cross-sectional aspect ratios on turbulence were investigated in a large eddy simulation, and the results reproduced the experimentally observed high heat transfer areas: in front of the rib on the rib-roughened walls and around the ribs on the smooth side walls.

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.

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.
