Abstract
Direct numerical simulations of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are limited to relatively low-Reynolds numbers. Therefore, dynamically less complex mathematical formulations are necessary for coarse-grain simulations. Regularization and eddy-viscosity models for LES are examples thereof. They rely on differential operators that should capture well different flow configurations (laminar and 2D flows, near-wall behavior, transitional regime ...). Most of them are based on the combination of invariants of a symmetric second-order tensor that is derived from the gradient of the resolved velocity field. In the present work, they are presented in a framework where the models are represented as a combination of elements of a 5D phase space of invariants. In this way, new models can be constructed by imposing appropriate restrictions in this space.
