Dynamic global model for large eddy simulation of transient flow

In the present study, the dynamic subgrid-scale eddy viscosity models with a global model coefficient by Park et al. [Phys. Fluids 18, 125109 (2006)] (called dynamic global models hereafter) are applied to large eddy simulation of decaying isotropic turbulence to examine their performances in transient flow. The dynamic global model based on the global equilibrium between the subgrid-scale dissipation and the viscous dissipation fails to predict the temporal behavior of decaying isotropic turbulence. On the other hand, the dynamic global model based on the Germano identity shows an excellent agreement with the experimental data of decaying isotropic turbulence.
