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.

New insights into large eddy simulation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a monotone integrated large eddy simulation approach, which incorporates a form of turbulence modeling applicable when the large-scale flows of interest are intrinsically time dependent, thus throwing common statistical models into question.

Large eddy simulation of a nonpremixed reacting jet: Application and assessment of subgrid-scale combustion models

TL;DR: In this paper, the results from large eddy simulations (LES) and direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a two-dimensional, spatially developing, compressible planar free jet undergoing an idealized, exothermic, chemical reaction of the type F+rOx→(1+r)P are presented in order to assess several subgrid-scale combustion models.

Large eddy simulation of a reacting spray flame with multiple realizations under compression ignition engine conditions

TL;DR: In this article, an n-dodecane spray flame (Spray A from Engine Combustion Network) was simulated using a δ function combustion model along with a dynamic structure large eddy simulation (LES) model to evaluate its performance at engine-relevant conditions and to understand the transient behavior of this turbulent flame.

Stratified turbulent flames: Recent advances in understanding the influence of mixture inhomogeneities on premixed combustion and modeling challenges

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce experimental facilities and numerical tools applied to investigating inhomogeneously premixed flames, and summarize recent progress in revealing and understanding local phenomena (e.g., back-supported combustion or generation of flame surface area) that stem from the influence of mixture inhomogenities on flame propagation through flammable reactants.

Simulation of complex turbulent flows: recent advances and prospects in wind engineering

TL;DR: In some fields, temporal fluctuations are of great importance; others are satisfied with time-averaged quantities as mentioned in this paper, while the accuracy requirements vary greatly among the fields, including the geophysical and astrophysical sciences, might be satisfied with the order of magnitude results.

Dynamic Structure Models for Scalar Flux and Dissipation in Large Eddy Simulation

TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of subgrid scale models (dynamic structure models) for large eddy simulation is proposed for subgrid scalar flux and dissipation terms, where the structure of the modeled terms is taken from the corresponding Leonard terms by the use of the test filter size equal to the base filter size and a particular form of the scaling factor is proposed.

A Scalar PDF Construction Model for Turbulent Non-Premixed Combustion

TL;DR: In this article, a new model is presented to construct a realistic form for the joint-scalar probability density function, as opposed to assuming its shape, with application to the moment equation solution of turbulent combustion.
