Sensitivities in Large Eddy Simulation and Improved Estimates of Turbulent Flow Functionals
SIAM J. Sci. Comput. Volume 29, Issue 4, pp. 1650-1667 (2007)
Published August 1, 2007We consider a prototypical problem: simulate velocity and pressure in a turbulent flow using large eddy simulation (LES) and then use the results to estimate the force that the underlying turbulent flow exerts on an immersed body. For eddy viscosity-type LES models we develop the appropriate continuous sensitivity equation and show how it can improve the functional estimate by using the sensitivity with respect to the user-selected length scale to incorporate the effects of the underlying unresolved small-scale fluctuations on the functionals sought.
