Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
