Description: Numerical large-eddy simulation techniques are booming at present and will have a decisive impact on industrial modeling and flow control. The book represents the general framework in physical and spectral space. It also gives the recent subgrid-scale models. Topics treated include compressible turbulence research, turbulent combustion, acoustic predictions, vortex dynamics in non-trivial geometries, flows in nuclear reactors and problems in atmospheric and geophysical sciences. The book addresses numerical analysts, physicists, and engineers.
