Question 1

What is the primary purpose of Large Eddy Simulation (LES)?

To resolve all turbulence scales
To model only large turbulent structures
To balance computation and accuracy for turbulent flows

💡 Hint: Consider why we need a method that is not as intensive as DNS.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an experiment to validate an LES model against experimental data. What parameters would you compare, and why?

💡 Hint: Consider which flow characteristics are crucial for validation.

Challenge 2 Hard

How does the choice of filtering width affect the simulation outcomes in LES? Discuss the implications of too coarse vs. too fine filtering.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the balance between detail and computational load.
