Abstract Large Eddy Simulation of a turbulent cavitating flow has been performed using the
explicit spatially-filtered compressible Navier-Stokes solver. The unstructured finite volume
method uses a blended central-upwind scheme in single-phase regions to minimize artificial
damping of resolvable turbulence scales. In the areas with discontinuities such as phase
change, the method switches to a lower-order reconstruction (WENO and first order) and an
approximate Riemann solver. Time discretization is performed with an explicit third order …
