Large Eddy Simulation for Compressible Flows

This book addresses both the fundamentals and the practical industrial applications of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) in order to bridge the gap between LES research and the growing need to use it in engineering modeling.

Pierre Saugaut is one of the leading scientists in scientific computing (Simulation, Analysis and Modeling of Compressible Turbulent Flows), and his books are considered the most important in the field of LES theory and applications (he has been given the ONERA award for the best scientific publication in 1997,1999, 2001). He is teaching at the Pierre et Marie Curie Universite Paris.

The author has published several books with Springer ('Large Eddy Simulation for Incompressible Flows', ISBN 978-3-540-26344-9; 'Introduction a la simulation des grandes échelles pour les écoulements de fluide incompressible', ISBN 978-3-540-64684-6; 'Turbulence and Interactions', ISBN 978-3-642-00261-8; 'Quality and Reliability of Large-Eddy Simulations', ISBN 978-1-4020-8577-2). He is in the Editorial/Advisory Board of the Springer Journals 'Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics' and 'Journal of Scientific Computing'.
