Abstract

An efficient spectral vanishing viscosity method for the large-eddy simulation of incompressible flows is proposed, both for standard spectral and spectral element approximations. The approach is integrated in a collocation spectral Chebyshev-Fourier solver and then used to compute the turbulent wake of a cylinder in a crossflow confined geometry (Reynolds number Re=3900)
