Large eddy simulation (LES)

OpenFOAM is distributed with a huge library of LES models as listed below.

As with the rest of the library, adding new LES models is straightforward; the new models are available for selection at run-time in the same way as others provided with the library.

Isochoric LES models


Smagorinsky Smagorinsky model
Smagorinsky2 Smagorinsky model with 3-D filter
dynSmagorinsky Dynamic Smagorinsky
scaleSimilarity Scale similarity model
