Numerical methods for Large Eddy Simulation


This training session allows participants to understand the underlying basics of Large Eddy Simulation (LES): numerics, boundary conditions, LES closures and combustion modeling. The CFD code AVBP (version 6.2) co-developed by CERFACS and IFPEN is used for hands-on to compute both academic and realistic configurations of reacting compressible flows.


Target participants:
This training session is for engineers, physicists, computer scientists
and numerical analysts who wish to learn to useLES and to manipulate
a CFD code dedicated to LES.

Prerequisites:
Unix, Fortran, numerical simulation.

Scientific contact:
Eleonore RIBER
