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.

Development of a Large-Eddy Simulation Methodology for the Analysis of Cycle-to-Cycle Combustion Variability of a Lean Burn Engine

TL;DR: In this paper, the Coherent Flame Model approach is used and enriched via a correlation for the laminar flame velocity accounting for nonlinear stretch effects, and the results are analyzed in terms of cycle-to-cycle combustion variabilities and the influence of the spark-plug orientation.

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.
