Abstract

Results from spectral element large eddy simulations of turbulent channel flow are presented. A Smagorinsky subgrid-scale stress model was employed, and van Driest-type wall damping was needed, as is usually the case for wall-resolving large eddy simulations with the Smagorinsky model. Simulation results compare favorably with experimental measurements at the same Reynolds number, demonstrating the potential of the method in wall-bounded flows of higher geometric complexity.
