APPROXIMATION OF THE LARGER EDDIES IN FLUID MOTIONS II: A MODEL FOR SPACE-FILTERED FLOW

Source abstract

We present two modifications of continuum models used in large eddy simulation. The first modification is a closure approximation which better attenuates small eddies. The second modification is a change in the boundary conditions for the large eddy model from strict adherence to slip with resistance. For model consistency, the resistance coefficient is a function of the averaging radius so that the model's boundary conditions reduce to a no-slip as the averaging radius decreases to zero.
