Towards lagrangian large vortex simulation

Abstract
Construction of a Lagrangian large-eddy-simulation scheme is performed based on filtering the vorticity transport equation and using simple eddy-diffusivity models to account for subgrid-scale "Helmholtz" stresses. The resulting governing equations are simulated using a three-dimensional particle method which discretizes the vorticity field into Lagrangian vortex elements of finite overlapping cores. Vortex elements are transported along particle trajectories, while their vorticities evolve according to stretching and tilting by the resolved scales, molecular diffusion, and subgrid-scale stresses. The behavior of the model is discussed in light of limited three-dimensional computations of transitional vortex rings. It is shown that the model can capture the large-scale features of the flow without requiring an excessively large number of elements.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
