Abstract
The conventional integral-type dynamic localization subgrid-scale stress model is a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. This model is mathematically consistent, but it has not been widely used in the large-eddy simulation community due to the relatively high computational cost of solving the Fredholm integral equation using an iterative scheme. In this article, a direct solution scheme based on a discrete Gaussian filter is developed to solve the integral system for turbulent flow with homogeneous dimensions. The proposed direct solution scheme is computationally efficient and makes the integral-type dynamic localization subgrid-scale stress model affordable. Turbulent Couette flows with Reynolds numbers of 2,600 and 4,762 are used in numerical simulations to validate the proposed approach.
