Generation of grid-scale (GS) and subgrid-scale (SGS) velocity fields is performed by direct filtering of DNS (Direct Numerical Simulation) data at a low Reynolds number in homogeneous isotropic turbulence in order to assess the spectral accuracy as well as the performance of filter functions for LES (Large Eddy Simulation). The filtering is performed using three classical filter functions: Gaussian, Tophat and Sharp cutoff filters and in all three cases the results are compared with three different filter widths for LES. Comparing the distributions of GS and SGS velocities, and the decay of turbulence with those from DNS fields through out the whole calculation we have found that among the three filter functions, the performance of Sharp cutoff filter is better than that of the other two filter functions in terms of both spatial spectra and the distribution of velocities. Furthermore, it is shown that the accuracy of the filtering approach does not depend only on the filter functions but also on the filter widths for LES. GANIT J. Bangladesh Math. Soc.

New subgrid-scale models for the large-eddy simulation of compressible turbulent flows are developed and tested based on the Favre-filtered equations of motion for an ideal gas. A compressible generalization of the linear combination of the Smagorinsky model and scale-similarity model, in terms of Favre-filtered fields, is obtained for the subgrid-scale stress tensor. An analogous thermal linear combination model is also developed for the subgrid-scale heat flux vector. The two dimensionless constants associated with these subgrid-scale models are obtained by correlating with the results of direct numerical simulations of compressible isotropic turbulence performed on a 963 grid using Fourier collocation methods. Extensive comparisons between the direct and modelled subgrid-scale fields are provided in order to validate the models. A large-eddy simulation of the decay of compressible isotropic turbulence – conducted on a coarse 323 grid – is shown to yield results that are in excellent agreement with the fine-grid direct simulation. Future applications of these compressible subgrid-scale models to the large-eddy simulation of more complex supersonic flows are discussed briefly.
