Question 1.
What does LES stand for?
Show hintHide hint
Think of the term that directly refers to larger vortices.
Question 2.
What is the primary benefit of using LES over DNS?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the trade-off between accuracy and resource use.
3Question 3.
What is the main purpose of Large Eddy Simulation?
- To resolve all turbulence scales
- To model the behavior of large eddies
- To simulate laminar flow
Show hintHide hint
Think about which aspect of fluid dynamics LES focuses on.
4Question 4.
True or False: The Kolmogorov hypothesis applies to both large and small eddies.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall what the hypothesis states about the behavior of small eddies.
Question 5.
In a specific case study of a turbulent jet, describe how you would implement LES. What factors would you consider in your filtering approach?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the relationship between grid size and the scales of turbulence.
Question 6.
Evaluate a scenario where a universal turbulence model fails. What does this imply about the behavior of larger eddies?
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on the characteristics of large eddies compared to small ones.
