The article gives an overview of the Scale-Adaptive Simulation (SAS) method developed by the authors during the last years. The motivation for the formulation of the SAS method is given and a detailed explanation of the underlying ideas is presented. The derivation of the high-Reynolds number form of the equations as well as the calibration of the constants is provided. The concept of SAS is explained using several generic examples and test cases. In a companion article, the model is applied to more complex industrial-type applications.
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.
