description | Following the relative success of mixed models in the Large Eddy Simulation of complex turbulent flow configurations, an alternative formulation is suggested here which incorporates the concept of a local subgrid activity sensor. The general idea of mixed models is to combine the advantages of structural models (superior alignment properties), usually of the scale similarity type, and functional models (superior stability), usually of the eddy viscosity type, while avoiding their disadvantages. However, the key question is the mathematical realization of this combination, and the formulation in this work accounts for the local level of underresolution of the flow. The justification and evaluation of the newly proposed mixed model is based on a priori and a posteriori analysis of homogeneous isotropic turbulence and laminar–turbulent transition in the Taylor–Green vortex, respectively. The suggested model shows a robust and accurate behavior for the cases investigated. In particular, it outperforms the separate structural and functional base models as well as the simulation without an explicit subgrid-scale model. |
