A numerical method for large eddy simulation in complex geometries. (English) Zbl 1059.76033
Summary: We discuss the development of a numerical algorithm and solver capable of performing large eddy simulation in very complex geometries often encountered in industrial applications. The algorithm is developed for unstructured hybrid grids, is non-dissipative, yet robust at high Reynolds numbers on highly skewed grids. Simulation results for a variety of flows are presented.
