When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

This review examines large eddy simulation (LES) models from the perspective of their a
priori statistical characteristics. The most well-known statistical characteristic of an LES …

First concise textbook on Large-Eddy Simulation, a very important method in scientific
computing and engineering From the foreword to the third edition written by Charles …

The preface begins' Turbulence is a dangerous topic...'—with which any aircraft operator will
agree—but goes on'... which is often at the origin of serious fights in the scientific meetings …

Two decades ago when we wrote Spectral Methods in Fluid Dynamics (1988), the subject
was still fairly novel. Motivated by the many favorable comments we have received and the …

This book deals with the simulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for
laminar and turbulent flows. The book is limited to explaining and employing the finite …

Large eddy simulation (LES) is a method of scientific computation seeking to predict the
dynamics of organized structures in turbulent flows by approximating local, spatial averages …

We first recall the concepts of spectral eddy viscosity and diffusivity, derived from the two-
point closures of turbulence, in the framework of large-eddy simulations in Fourier space …

It is well known that subgrid models such as Smagorinsky's cannot be used for the spatially
growing simulation of the transition to turbulence of flat-plate boundary layers, unless large …

Over twenty years have passed since the first large eddy simulation (Les) results by
Deardorff (1970) were published. During this period, this technique has matured …
