Large-eddy Simulation

Large-Eddy Simulation is a computational method in fluid dynamics that belongs to the class of turbulence-resolving simulation techniques, distinguished by its approach of explicitly resolving large-scale turbulent eddies while modeling the effects of smaller, subgrid-scale eddies using a spatial filter applied to the Navier-Stokes equations.
