Overview
The field of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and hybrids is a vibrant research area. This book runs through all the potential unsteady modelling fidelity ranges, from low-order to LES. The latter is probably the highest fidelity for practical aerospace systems modeling. Cutting edge new frontiers are defined.\xa0One example of a pressing environmental concern is noise. For the accurate prediction of this, unsteady modelling is needed. Hence computational aeroacoustics is explored. It is also emerging that there is a critical need for coupled simulations. Hence, this area is also considered and the tensions of using such simulations with the already expensive LES.\xa0This work has relevance to the general field of CFD and LES and to a wide variety of non-aerospace aerodynamic systems. Topics treated include unsteady flow techniques; LES and hybrids; general numerical methods; computational aeroacoustics; computational aeroelasticity; coupled simulations and turbulence and its modelling (LES, RANS, transition, VLES, URANS). The volume concludes by pointing forward to future horizons and in particular the industrial use of LES. From the reviews: "This is a very useful book with a wide\xa0coverage of many aspects in unsteady\xa0aerodynamics method\xa0development and applications\xa0for internal and external flows." L. He, Rolls-Royce/RAEng Chair of Computational\xa0Aerothermal Engineering,\xa0Oxford University,\xa0U.K."This comprehensive book ranges from classical concepts in both numerical methods and turbulence modelling approaches for the beginner to latest state-of-the-art for the advanced practitioner and constitutes an extremely valuable contribution to the specific Computational Fluid Dynamics literature in Aeronautics. Student and expert alike will benefit greatly by reading it from cover to cover."Sebastien Deck, Onera, Meudon, France
