Direct and Large-Eddy Simulation

This book presents a comprehensive overview of the mathematics and physics behind the simulation of turbulent flows and discusses in detail (i) the phenomenology of turbulence in fluid dynamics, (ii) the role of direct and large-eddy simulation in predicting these dynamics, (iii) the multiple considerations underpinning subgrid modelling, and, (iv) the issue of validation and reliability resulting from interacting modelling and numerical errors.

• Presents in detail the theory behind simulation techniques for turbulent flows
• Discusses both direct and large-eddy simulations
• Covers topics of current interest such as multiphase flows and the reliability of simulations
