Summary on Grant Application Form
Large eddy simulation (LES) is a potential generic method for predicting complex turbulent flows of industrial relevance. Recent studies show that success of LES does depend on the subgrid-scale (SGS) model used in the simulation, which itself has not been fully assessed and developed, especially for compressible flow. We propose to use our model-free, accurate direct numerical simulation (DNS) databases to assess and further develop SGS terms in both the momentum and energy equations. Fully validated SGS models will be used to construct LES databases of turbulent impinging round jets. Such databases are highly desired by British Aerospace and the turbulence modelling community in general, for testing advanced turbulence models based on Reynolds averaging.
