by Pierre Sagaut (Université Pierre et Marie Curie, France), Sébastien Deck & Marc Terracol (French National Aerospace Research Establishment (ONERA), France)

Table of Contents (118k)
Preface (71k)
Chapter 1: A Brief Introduction to Turbulence (4,125k)

This unique book gives a general unified presentation of the use of the multiscale/multiresolution approaches in the field of turbulence. The coverage ranges from statistical models developed for engineering purposes to multiresolution algorithms for the direct computation of turbulence. It provides the only available up-to-date reviews dealing with the latest and most advanced turbulence models (including LES, VLES, hybrid RANS/LES, DES) and numerical strategies.

The book aims at providing the reader with a comprehensive description of modern strategies for turbulent flow simulation, ranging from turbulence modeling to the most advanced multilevel numerical methods.


Contents:

  • A Brief Introduction to Turbulence
  • Turbulence Simulation and Scale Separation
  • Statistical Multiscale Modeling
  • Multiscale Subgrid Models: Self-Adaptivity
  • Structural Multiscale Subgrid Models: Small Scale Estimations
  • Unsteady Turbulence Simulation on Self-Adaptive Grids
  • Global Hybrid RANS/LES Methods
  • Zonal RANS/LES Methods


Readership: Researchers and engineers in academia and industry in aerospace, automotive and other aerodynamics-oriented fields; masters-level students in fluid mechanics, computational fluid dynamics and applied mathematics.
