Large-Eddy Simulation in Hydraulics

by Wolfgang Rodi, George Constantinescu, Thorsten Stoesser

Overview

An introduction to the Large-Eddy-Simulation (LES) method, geared primarily toward hydraulic and environmental engineers, the book covers special features of flows in water bodies and summarizes the experience gained with LES for calculating such flows. It can also be a valuable entry to the subject of LES for researchers and students in all fields of fluids engineering, and the applications part will be useful to researchers interested in the physics of flows governed by the dynamics of coherent structures.

Editorial Reviews

"Large-Eddy Simulation in Hydraulics is recommended to numerical modellers working on turbulent flow problems in any branch of hydraulics. To quote William Cowper (The Task: A Poem in Six Books, Book III, The Garden, 1785)

A life all turbulence and noise may seem,
To him that leads it, wise and to be praised;
But wisdom is a pearl with most success
Sought in still water, and beneath clear skies.

Overall, the authors are to be congratulated on producing a wise textbook that is timely, very informative and covers a topic of great importance in modern fluid mechanics."
