KnowraLarge eddy simulationLinked fromLinked fromThe 5 pages that link to Large eddy simulation, each with the reason it gives.All 5Broader topic 1Related 2Compared with 2Computational fluid dynamicsBroader topic: LES offers more turbulence detail than many models at less cost than DNS.TurbulenceCompared with: It offers a middle ground between fully resolved simulation and averaged equations.Atmospheric boundary layerRelated: It offers detailed simulations but still depends on approximations for unresolved eddies.ThermalRelated: It helps researchers simulate the turbulent flows that organize thermals.Direct numerical simulationCompared with: Unlike DNS, it filters out and models motions below the chosen grid scale.
