ERCOFTAC Workshop Series

Direct and Large Eddy Simulation (DLES)

The biannual Workshop on Direct and Large Eddy Simulation (DLES) highlights state-of-the-art techniques for the simulation of turbulent flows, with a particular focus on resolving instantaneous flow structures either partially or fully. As computational power continues to grow, these approaches are becoming increasingly relevant, even for industrial applications at high Reynolds numbers. The workshop also covers hybrid modeling strategies that combine LES and RANS methods, including advances in wall-modeled LES.

Goals of the Workshop

The goal of the workshop is to present the state of the art in DNS, LES, and related techniques for computing and modeling turbulent and transitional flows. The range of topics addressed at DLES workshops includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Fundamentals and modeling of LES
Data assimilation and uncertainties quantification
Advanced computational methods and numerics
High-performance computing for turbulence
Heat and mass transfer and MHD
Multi-phase flows
Biological flows
Environmental and geophysical flows
Combustion and reactive flows
Industrial applications

This gathering of specialists in the field will be a unique opportunity for discussions about recent advances in the prediction, understanding and control of turbulent flows in academic and industrial applications.
