Ebook: Direct and Large-Eddy Simulation III: Proceedings of the Isaac Newton Institute Symposium / ERCOFTAC Workshop held in Cambridge, U.K., 12–14 May 1999

The practical importance of turbulence led the U.K. Royal Academy of Engineering to launch an Initiative on Turbulence, the most important outcome of which was the definition and agreement of the 1999 Newton Institute Research Programme on Turbulence. The main aim of the- month programme, held at the institute in Cambridge, was to bring together the mathematics and engineering communities involved in the turbulence area to address the many problems and to map out future strategy. As a part of the Research Programme, a Symposium on Direct and Large-Eddy Simulation was jointly organised with ERCOFfAC through their Large-Eddy Simulation Interest Group and took place in May 1999. Two previous ERCOFf AC Workshops had already taken place on these closely related varieties of turbulence simulation, at The University of Surrey in 1994 and at Universite Joseph Fourier, Grenoble in 1996. The Symposium at Cambridge was therefore the third in the ERCOFTAC series, enhanced by the presence of leading figures in the field from Europe and the USA who were resident at INI for that period of the Research Programme. Professors M. Germano, A. Leonard, J. Jimenez, R. Kerr and S. Sarkar gave the invited lectures, text versions of which will be found in this volume. As occurred at the previous two ERCOFT AC workshops, there were almost one hundred participants mostly from Europe but including some from Japan and the USA, including on this occasion resident scientists of the INI Research Programme.

Though there is no doubt about the importance of turbulent flow phenomena in engineering systems, the reliable prediction of turbulence remains an elusive goal. Direct numerical simulation of turbulent flows is possible at sufficiently low Reynolds numbers, while large-eddy simulation may be applied in the higher Reynolds number range of engineering importance.
A six-month research programme organised in 1999 by the Isaac Newton Institute, University of Cambridge, brought together experts from different communities to develop new understandings of practical and fundamental problems in turbulence. This collection of papers, from one of the symposia held as part of the research programme in conjunction with ERCOFTAC, presents current progress in the use of direct and large-eddy simulation. Describing novel simulations of turbulence and transition and innovative approaches to the mathematics and physics of subgrid closures, the volume gives a clear overview of the status of this important research area and its practical applications. This book should therefore be of interest to all researchers active in this area.
