Large Eddy Simulation for Compressible Flows [Hardcover]

This book addresses both the fundamentals and the practical industrial applications of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) in order to bridge the gap between LES research and the growing need to use it in engineering modeling.

LES Governing Equations.- Compressible Turbulence Dynamics.- Functional Modeling.- Explicit Structural Modeling.- Relation Between SGS Model and Numerical Discretization.- Boundary Conditions for Large-Eddy Simulation of Compressible Flows.- Subsonic Applications with Compressibility Effects.- Supersonic Applications.- Supersonic Applications with?Shock-Turbulence Interaction.

Pierre Saugaut is one of the leading scientists in scientific computing (Simulation, Analysis and Modeling of Compressible Turbulent Flows), and his books are considered the most important in the field of LES theory and applications (he has been given the ONERA award for the best scientific publication in 1997,1999, 2001). He is teaching at the Pierre et Marie Curie Universite Paris.

The author has published several books with Springer ( Large Eddy Simulation for Incompressible Flows , ISBN 978-3-540-26344-9; Introduction a la simulation des grandes ?chelles pour les ?coulements de fluide incompressible , ISBN 978-3-540-64684-6; Turbulence and Interactions , ISBN 978-3-642-00261-8; Quality and Reliability of Large-Eddy Simulations , ISBN 978-1-4020-8577-2).

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of compressible flows is still a widely unexplored area of research. The authors, whose books are considered the most relevant monographs in this field, provide the reader with a comprehensive state-of-the-art presentation of the available LES theory and application. This book is a sequel to Large Eddy Simulation for Incompressible Flows , as most of the research on LES for compressible lSW
