Abstract
The locally dynamic one-equation based subgrid-scale is extended for large-eddy simulation of stably stratified turbulent flows. It is comprehensively assessed by simulating turbulent channel flow for a range of Reynolds and Richardson numbers. It captures all the key flow features, such as suppression of vertical turbulent transport, presence of internal waves and pycnocline, and decrease of the friction coefficient and Nusselt number. The turbulence statistics show good agreement with the reference results thus demonstrating its applicability to stratified flows with variable mean shear.
