Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Incompressible Flows : Analytical and Numerical Results for a Class of LES Models /

Show other versions (1)

Large eddy simulation (LES) seeks to simulate the large structures of a turbulent flow. This is the first monograph which considers LES from a mathematical point of view. It concentrates on LES models for which mathematical and numerical analysis is already available and on related LES models. Most...
