description Analysis and optimization of the hybrid upwind-central numerical methods for modern versions of large eddy simulations (LESs) are presented herein. Optimization was performed based on examination of the characteristics of the spatial and temporal finite-volume approximations of the convective terms of filtered Navier–Stokes equations. A method for selecting level of subgrid viscosity that corresponds to the chosen numerical scheme and makes it possible to obtain an extended inertial interval of the energy spectrum is proposed. A series of LESs of homogeneous isotropic turbulence decay were carried out, and the optimal values of the subgrid model constants included in the hybrid shear stress transport delay detached eddy simulation (SST-DDES) method were determined. A procedure for generating a consistent initial field of subgrid parameters for these simulations is described. The three-stage explicit Runge–Kutta method was demonstrated to be sufficient for stable time integration, while the popular explicit midpoint method was not. The slope of the energy spectrum was shown to be almost independent of the central-difference scheme order and of the mesh spacing when the correct numerical method was applied. Numerical viscosity was found to become much greater than subgrid viscosity when the upwind scheme contributed about 10% or more to the convective flux approximation.
