Large Eddy Simulation: Its Role in Turbulence Research

  • Chapter
Theoretical Approaches to Turbulence

Part of the book series: Applied Mathematical Sciences ((AMS,volume 58))

Abstract

The origins of large eddy simulation (LES) lie in the early global weather prediction models. The grids used in those codes couldhardly resolve the largest atmospheric structures. Modeling was, andstill is, required for the unresolved scales.
