Many flows of aeronautical interest have regions where turbulence has a significant effect. For many of these flows, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulation (RANSS) techniques do not give an acceptable description of the flow. In these cases a more detailed simulation of the turbulence is required. One such detailed simulation technique, large-eddy simulation (LES) has matured to the point of application to complex flows. Historically, LES have been carried out with structured grids which suffer from two major difficulties: the extension to higher Reynolds numbers leads to an impractical number of grid points, and most real world flows are rather difficult to represent geometrically with structured grids. Unstructured-grid methods offer a release from both of these constraints. Within this sponsored research significant progress has been made towards the application of the above approach to flows of aeronautical interest.

This report describes the application of Large Eddy Simulations (LES) to turbulent flow over an airfoil. Two different approaches have been used, a second-order finite-difference solver on structured grid and a finite-element solver on unstructured grid. Results are presented for the flow around a NACA 4412 airfoil at maximum lift. The diversity of flow characteristics encountered in this flow include laminar, transitional and turbulent boundary layers, flow separation, unstable free shear layers and a wake. while Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations (RANS) have had some success when tuned to flows dominated by one such flow characteristic, this variety of flow features taxes the presently available RANS models and presents an excellent opportunity to validate the utility of the dynamic SGS model for LES. Work has also been conducted on high order methods, both for the unstructured and the structured approach.

This book gathers the proceedings of the 11th workshop on Direct and Large Eddy Simulation (DLES), which was held in Pisa, Italy in May 2017. The event focused on modern techniques for simulating turbulent flows based on the partial or full resolution of the instantaneous turbulent flow structures, as Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) or hybrid models based on a combination of LES and RANS approaches. In light of the growing capacities of modern computers, these approaches have been gaining more and more interest over the years and will undoubtedly be developed and applied further. The workshop offered a unique opportunity to establish a state-of-the-art of DNS, LES and related techniques for the computation and modeling of turbulent and transitional flows and to discuss about recent advances and applications. This volume contains most of the contributed papers, which were submitted and further reviewed for publication. They cover advances in computational techniques, SGS modeling, boundary conditions, post-processing and data analysis, and applications in several fields, namely multiphase and reactive flows, convection and heat transfer, compressible flows, aerodynamics of airfoils and wings, bluff-body and separated flows, internal flows and wall turbulence and other complex flows.

This volume reflects the state of the art of numerical simulation of transitional and turbulent flows and provides an active forum for discussion of recent developments in simulation techniques and understanding of flow physics. Following the tradition of earlier DLES workshops, these papers address numerous theoretical and physical aspects of transitional and turbulent flows. At an applied level it contributes to the solution of problems related to energy production, transportation, magneto-hydrodynamics and the environment. A special session is devoted to quality issues of LES. The ninth Workshop on 'Direct and Large-Eddy Simulation' (DLES-9) was held in Dresden, April 3-5, 2013, organized by the Institute of Fluid Mechanics at Technische Universität Dresden. This book is of interest to scientists and engineers, both at an early level in their career and at more senior levels.

Reports recent developments in the direct numerical simulation and large-eddy simulation of turbulence from Europe and Japan. The 40 papers cover jets, sub-grid models and homogeneous turbulence, separated flows and transition, thermal and compressible flows, wall flows and channel flows, complex flows, reacting flows, combustion, and flow past a square cylinder as a test case for large-eddy simulation 2. Among the specific topics are amplified frequencies in the proximal region of a circular jet, the self-consistency of the Smagorinsky constant and the value of the Rotta parameter at high Reynolds numbers, the large-eddy simulation of separated boundary layer transition, pressure and dilatation effects in high-speed turbulence, the mechanism of attenuation of turbulence by spanwise wall oscillation, non-unique solutions in turbulent curved pipe flow, extending the dynamic modelling procedure to turbulent reacting flows, and the large-eddy simulation of flow past a square cylinder using embedded meshes.

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a high-fidelity approach to the numerical simulation of turbulent flows. Recent developments have shown LES to be able to predict aerodynamic noise generation and propagation as well as the turbulent flow, by means of either a hybrid or a direct approach. This book is based on the results of two French/German research groups working on LES simulations in complex geometries and noise generation in turbulent flows. The results provide insights into modern prediction approaches for turbulent flows and noise generation mechanisms as well as their use for novel noise reduction concepts.

This volume continues previous DLES proceedings books, presenting modern developments in turbulent flow research. It is comprehensive in its coverage of numerical and modeling techniques for fluid mechanics. After Surrey in 1994, Grenoble in 1996, Cambridge in 1999, Enschede in 2001, Munich in 2003, Poitiers in 2005, and Trieste in 2009, the 8th workshop, DLES8, was held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, again under the auspices of ERCOFTAC. Following the spirit of the series, the goal of this workshop is to establish a state-of-the-art of DNS and LES techniques for the computation and modeling of transitional/turbulent flows covering a broad scope of topics such as aerodynamics, acoustics, combustion, multiphase flows, environment, geophysics and bio-medical applications. This gathering of specialists in the field was a unique opportunity for discussions about the more recent advances in the prediction, understanding and control of turbulent flows in academic or industrial situations.
