Computational
modelling of fluids flows is vital for understanding and controlling processes
relevant to aeronautical, environmental and numerous engineering problems. Most
flows are turbulent, this dynamic complexity generally being treated using
inexpensive deterministic mathematical (RANS- Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes)
models requiring calibration and validation against measurements. The
increasing power of computers is allowing much less model-dependent approaches
called LES (Large Eddy Simulations). These are explored in an application
centred context between diverse fields that include general aerospace; gas
turbines; ground vehicles; operational weather and climate prediction and
atomic weapons related applications.
In this issue
the general flow-governing equation form is explored along with various LES
models. The errors occurring in LES are analyzed and also, the hybridization of
RANS and LES are considered. The relative importance of modelling relative to
boundary conditions, problem definition and other more mundane aspects are also
discussed.
