Large eddy simulation of turbulent flows via domain decomposition techniques. Part 2: applications

The present paper discusses the application of large eddy simulation to incompressible turbulent flows in complex geometries. Algorithmic developments concerning the flow solver were provided in the companion paper (Int. J Numer. Meth. Fluids, 2003; submitted), which addressed the development and validation of a multi-domain kernel suitable for the integration of the elliptic partial differential equations arising from the fractional step procedure applied to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Numerical results for several test problems are compared to reference experimental and numerical data to demonstrate the potential of the method. Copyright (c) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
