On Large Eddy Simulation and Variational Multiscale Methods in the numerical simulation of turbulent incompressible flows

Volker John (2006)

Applications of Mathematics

Numerical simulation of turbulent flows is one of the great challenges in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In general, Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is not feasible due to limited computer resources (performance and memory), and the use of a turbulence model becomes necessary. The paper will discuss several aspects of two approaches of turbulent modeling—Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Variational Multiscale (VMS) models. Topics which will be addressed are the detailed derivation of these...

On Lars Hörmander’s remark on the characteristic Cauchy problem

Jean-Philippe Nicolas (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We extend the results of a work by L. Hörmander [9] concerning the resolution of the characteristic Cauchy problem for second order wave equations with regular first order potentials. The geometrical background of this work was a spatially compact spacetime with smooth metric. The initial data surface was spacelike or null at each point and merely Lipschitz. We lower the regularity hypotheses on the metric and potential and obtain similar results. The Cauchy problem for a spacelike initial data...
