Abstract
The large eddy simulation technique is developed for the study of decaying compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. In the present paper the obtained results of numerical computations for large eddy simulation are compared with the results of direct numerical simulation of three-dimensional compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence under various similarity parameters, namely, magnetic Reynolds numbers, hydrodynamic Reynolds numbers, and Mach numbers. The comparison of five subgrid-scale closures of large eddy simulation for the magnetohydrodynamic case is made. The comparison between large eddy simulation and direct numerical simulation is carried out regarding the time evolution of kinetic and magnetic energy, cross helicity, subgrid-scale and molecular dissipations for kinetic and magnetic energy, turbulent intensities and quantities that describe anisotropy of flow, that is, skewness and kurtosis of velocity and magnetic field. It is shown that some subgrid-scale models proposed in the paper provide sufficient dissipation of kinetic and magnetic energy, reduce computational efforts and produce adequate results of magnetohydrodynamic turbulent modeling for various values of similarity parameters of flows.
