“…By employing models that automatically switch off in well-resolved flow regions, the control of the overall physical fidelity can be achieved by means of the adaptive wavelet-based filtering procedure (De Stefano & Vasilyev 2014), thereby forming a completely unified eddy-resolving modelling framework, capable of continuously changing between WA-LES, CVS and wavelet-based adaptive direct numerical simulation (WA-DNS) regimes, within a single simulation. The filtering parameters can be automatically adjusted, both spatially and temporally, based on objective physically based criteria throughout the course of the simulation, while targeting specific flow phenomena, which leads to the intelligent simulation of turbulent flows (Nejadmalayeri et al 2014; De Stefano, Nejadmalayeri & Vasilyev 2016). As the filtering parameters are tightened, a greater portion of the turbulent fields is retained and resolved, while lessening the effect of the SGS model, which eventually becomes negligible.…”
