Title:
Models for the larger eddies in turbulent flow
Abstract:
Most turbulent flows cannot be computed directly from the Navier-Stokes equations, because they possess far too many scales of motion. Therefore numerical simulations of turbulent flow have to resort to models of the small scales for which numerical resolution is not available. At the crossroads of theory and simulation new models start to develop. Basically there are two types of models: (1) regularization models that directly alter the nonlinearity to counter the production of small scales of motion and (2) dissipative models that effectively increase the viscosity to restrain (damp) the smallest scales. In this talk, both types are discussed and it is proposed to blend them. The blend is successfully tested for turbulent channel flows.
