Regularization modelling for large-eddy simulation in wall-bounded turbulence: An explicit filtering-based approach

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive analysis of a filtering-based regularization model for large-eddy simulation has been carried out for fully developed turbulent channel flow, and its potency as a largeeddy simulation candidate has been tested by comparison with eddy-viscosity subgrid-scale models.

Performance of continuous mass-lumped tetrahedral elements for elastic wave propagation with and without global assembly

TL;DR: This work considers isotropic elastic wave propagation with continuous mass-lumped finite elements on tetrahedra with explicit time stepping and finds that among the three degrees, the element of degree 3 is the most efficient in terms of accuracy at a given cost.

Computational and experimental study of a captive annular eddy

TL;DR: In this article, the main flow and the captive eddy between it and the walls are analyzed, and it is concluded that the main role of the eddy is to shape the flow with a rather small energy exchange.
