Subgrid-scale

The ability to resolve the dissipation structures allows a more detailed understanding of the interactions between turbulent flows and flame chemistry. This information on spectra, length scales, and the structure of small-scale turbulence in flames is also relevant to computational combustion models. For example, information on the locally measured values of the Batchelor scale and the dissipation-layer thickness can be used to design grids for large-eddy simulation (LES) or evaluate the relative resolution of LES resulfs. There is also the potential to use high-resolution dissipation measurements to evaluate subgrid-scale models for LES.

It is then assumed that due to this separation in scales, the so-called subgrid scale (SGS) modeling is largely geometry independent because of the universal behavior of turbulence at the small scales. The SGS eddies are therefore more close to the ideal concept of isotropy (according to which the intensity of the fluctuations and their length scale are independent of direction) and, hence, are more susceptible to the application of Boussinesq s concept of turbulent viscosity (see page 163).
