Large Eddy Simulation

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a computer modeling technique used to study turbulent flows, like those in the atmosphere, engines, or water. It focuses on capturing large, energy-carrying swirling motions (eddies) directly, which significantly influence flow behavior. Smaller, more chaotic movements are averaged out and approximated. By doing this, LES provides detailed insights into complex fluid dynamics more efficiently than simulating every tiny detail. This helps engineers and scientists better understand and predict how fluids move in real-world situations, improving designs and safety across various applications.
