17. Large Eddy Simulation

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) offers a compromise between direct numerical simulation and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, enabling a more practical approach to turbulent flow modeling. It focuses on capturing larger eddies and models smaller eddies indirectly through turbulence models. Understanding the distinctions between large and small eddies, their energy transfer, and the governing equations of LES is crucial for simplifying challenging computational fluid dynamic problems.
