Abstract

We include Smagorinsky's algebraic eddy viscosity approach into the multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) for large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent flows. The main advantage of the MRT-LBE model over the popular lattice BGK model is a significant improvement of numerical stability which leads to a substantial reduction of oscillations in the pressure field, especially for turbulent flow simulations near the numerical stability limit. The MRT-LBE model for LES is validated with a benchmark case of a surface mounted cube in a channel at Re = 40 000. Our preliminary results agree well with experimental data.
