Global vs. Zonal Approaches in Hybrid RANS-LES Turbulence Modelling

  • Conference paper
Progress in Hybrid RANS-LES Modelling

Abstract

The paper will provide an overview of hybrid RANS-LES methods currently used in industrial flow simulations and will evaluate the models for a variety of flow topologies. Special attention will be devoted to the aspect of global vs. zonal approaches and aspects related to interfaces between RANS and LES zones.
