▪ Abstract The single-point statistics of turbulence in the 'roughness sub-layer'occupied by
the plant canopy and the air layer just above it differ significantly from those in the surface …

The paper presents large-eddy simulation (LES) formalism, along with the various subgrid-
scale models developed since Smagorinsky's model. We show how Kraichnan's spectral …

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 …

This paper argues that the active turbulence and coherent motions near the top of a
vegetation canopy are patterned on a plane mixing layer, because of instabilities associated …

The identification issue of coherent vortices is investigated on the basis of direct numerical
simulation (DNS) and large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent flows. It is first shown that …

Three direct numerical simulations of incompressible turbulent plane mixing layers have
been performed. All the simulations were initialized with the same two velocity fields …

Six subgrid models for the turbulent stress tensor are tested by conducting large-eddy
simulations (LES) of the weakly compressible temporal mixing layer: the Smagorinsky …

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 …

Examines rotating stratified turbulence numerically and analytically. Energy and potential
entropy conservation; Resonant interaction theory; Cascade properties of rotational and …

Abstract Subgrid-models for Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of compressible turbulent flow are
tested for the three-dimensional mixing layer. For the turbulent stress tensor the recently …
