Space-time multiscale methods for Large Eddy Simulation

The Variational Multiscale (VMS) method has appeared as a promising new approach to the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of turbulent flows. The key advantage of the VMS approach is that it allows different subgrid-scale (SGS) modeling assumptions to be made at different ranges of the resolved scales. Typically, in the VMS method, SGS modeling is...

On finite element variational multiscale methods for incompressible turbulent flows

Two realizations of finite element variational multiscale (VMS) methods for the simulation of incompressible turbulent flows are studied. The difference between the two approaches consists in the way the spaces for the large scales and the resolved small scales are chosen. The paper addresses issues of the implementation of these methods, the...
