Abstract
A review of using large-eddy simulation (LES) in computational fluid dynamic stud- ies of internal combustion engines is presented. Background material on turbulence model- ling, LES approaches, specifically for engines, and the expectations of LES results are discussed. The major modelling approaches for turbulence, combustion, scalars, and liquid sprays are discussed. In each of these areas, a taxonomy is presented for the various types of models appropriate for engines. Advantages, disadvantages, and examples of use in the litera- ture are described for the various types of models. Several recent examples of engine studies using LES are discussed. Recommendations and future prospects are included.

A priori evaluation of subgrid-scale combustion models for diesel engine applications

TL;DR: In this article, two-dimensional DNS of autoigniting turbulent mixing layers are performed at temperature and pressure conditions similar to those observed in diesel engines, and the results are used to evaluate the performance of two common subgrid-scale combustion models that are employed in diesel combustion modeling.

Natural Gas Fueling: A LES Based Injection and Combustion Modeling for Partially Stratified Engines

TL;DR: In this article, a validated LES solver has been used to represent the main occurring phenomena into an experimentally implemented Constant Volume Combustion Chamber (CVCC) for different air fuel ratios, both homogeneous and non-homogeneous combustion processes have been simulated in order to compare and emphasize the benefits of the PSC-SI and the impact of the choice of operating conditions.

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 proposed modification of the Germano subgrid‐scale closure method

D. K. Lilly
- 01 Mar 1992 - 
TL;DR: 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.
