    Abstract

    We review the spatial filtering approach to large-eddy simulation and describe the intuitive dissipation and similarity requirements, commonly imposed on models for the turbulent stress. Then we present direct regularization of the nonlinear convective flux which provides a systematic framework for deriving the implied subgrid model. This approach allows one to incorporate several rigorous mathematical properties of solutions to the Navier-Stokes system into the modeled large-eddy formulation. Regularization maintains the central transport structure of the governing equations. We illustrate the approach with Leray regularization and the Lagrangian averaged Navier-Stokes-α model. The new subgrid models are applied to turbulent mixing. These models display a strongly improved accuracy of predictions compared to dynamic subgrid models, as well as robustness at high Reynolds number.
