The coherent structure of the energy cascade in isotropic turbulence

Danah Park, Adrian Lozano-Duran

The energy cascade, i.e. the transfer of kinetic energy from large-scale to small-scale flow motions, has been the cornerstone of turbulence theories and models since the 1940s. Ho…

Machine learning building-block-flow wall model for large-eddy simulation

Adrián Lozano-Durán, H. Jane Bae

A wall model for large-eddy simulation (LES) is proposed by devising the flow as a combination of building blocks. The core assumption of the model is that a finite set of simple c…
