A Comparison of Adaptive Mesh Refinement Approaches for Large Eddy Simulation

Abstract

A number of approaches to the problem of using adaptive mesh refinement in large eddy simulations are considered and tested. These include unstructured and structured adaptive grids, various treatments of the convective terms and a number of flow diagnostic procedures. The approaches are exemplified on a rotating channel flow.
