Question 1

What is a significant advantage of LES compared to DNS?

  • It resolves all turbulence scales
  • It models smaller eddies
  • It requires less computational power

💡 Hint: Think about the trade-offs between the two simulation techniques.

Question 2

True or False: The Kolmogorov hypothesis suggests that small eddies are dependent on the flow geometry.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on the definition of the hypothesis.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a complex fluid system, design a hypothetical LES framework including the choice of grid size and turbulence model. Justify your selections based on the system’s characteristics.

💡 Hint: Evaluate the characteristics of turbulence likely to be present in your system.

Question 2

Analyze the following scenario: A large eddy forms in a flowing river. Describe the process of energy transfer from this large eddy to smaller eddies, incorporating the Kolmogorov hypothesis.

💡 Hint: Think about how energy moves through scales in this turbulent flow.
