Implicit subgrid-scale modeling for the large-eddy simulation of compressible turbulence

Abstract

The objective of this paper is the analysis and the control of local truncation errors in Large Eddy Simulations. We show that physical reasoning can be incorporated into the design of discretization schemes. Using systematic procedures, a nonlinear discretization method is developed where numerical and turbulence-theoretical modeling are fully merged. The truncation error itself functions as an implicit turbulence model which accurately represents the effects of unresolved turbulence.
