    Subgrid-Scale Models based upon the Second-Order Structure-Function of Velocity

    Large-eddy simulations of wakes and boundary layers are performed with the aid of the structure-function model [[1]] and two of its sequels, namely the filtered and selective structure- function models. It is fir...

    Large-Eddy Simulation of a Spatially-Develo** Boundary Layer

    Two alternatives occurs for simulating transitional and fully-turbulent flows: first the simulation of all the scales involved in the motion (DNS), requiring tremendous resolution and CPU time, and second the ...

    Fluid Instabilities in Inertial Confinement Fusion

    The design of optimized targets in the Inertial Confinement Fusion context requires instabilities to be estimated and mitigated whenever possible. Indeed, these processes might lead to shell break-up, therefor...

    High-Order Skew-Symmetric Jameson Schemes for Unsteady Compressible Flows

    Performing reliable unsteady calculations on industrial configurations requires us to cope with both physical and numerical problems. As far as numerical problems are concerned, stable, low-cost, but accurate ...

    Subgrid-Scale Stress Modelling Based on the Square of the Velocity Gradient Tensor

    A new subgrid scale model is proposed for Large Eddy Simulations in complex geometries. This model which is based on the square of the velocity gradient tensor accounts for the effects of both the strain and t...
