A stochastic subgrid model for sheared turbulence

A new subgrid model for homogeneous turbulence is proposed. The model is used in a method of Large Eddy Simulation coupled with an E.D.Q.N.M. prediction of the statistical properties of the small scales. The model is stochastic in order to allow a “desaveraging” of the informations provided by the E.D.Q.N.M. closure. It is basedon stochastic amplitude equations for two-point closures. It allows backflow of energy from the small scales, introduces stochasticity into L.E.S., and is well adapted to non isotropic fields. A few results are presented here.
