| dc.description.abstract | One of the more promising recent approaches to turbulence modelling is the Variational Myltiscale Large Eddy
Simulation (VMS LES) method proposed by Hughes et al.[Comp. Visual. Sci., vol 3, pp 47-59, 2000]. This method
avoids several conceptual issues of traditional filter-based LES by employing a priori scale partitioning in the
discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations.
Most applications of VMS LES to date have been based on hierarchical bases, in particular global spectral methods, in
which scale partitioning is straightforward. In the present work we describe the implementation of the methodology in a
three-dimensional high-order spectral element method with a nodal basis. We report results from c | en_GB |
