Abstract Explicitly filtered large-eddy simulations (LES), combining high-accuracy schemes with the use of a selective filtering without adding an explicit subgrid-scales (SGS) model, are carried out for the Taylor-Green-vortex and the supersonic-boundary-layer cases. First, the present approach is validated against direct numerical simulation (DNS) results. Subsequently, several SGS models are implemented in order to investigate if they can improve the initial filter-based methodology. It is shown that the most accurate results are obtained when the filtering is used alone as an implicit model, and for a minimal cost. Moreover, the tests for the Taylor-Green vortex indicate that the discretization error from the numerical methods, notably the dissipation error from the high-order filtering, can have a greater influence than the SGS models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
