Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a high-fidelity approach to the numerical simulation of turbulent flows. Recent developments have shown LES to be able to predict aerodynamic noise generation and propagation as well as the turbulent flow, by means of either a hybrid or a direct approach.

This book is based on the results of two French/German research groups working on LES simulations in complex geometries and noise generation in turbulent flows. The results provide insights into modern prediction approaches for turbulent flows and noise generation mechanisms as well as their use for novel noise reduction concepts.

A compact overview of the current research activities regarding large eddy and aeroacoustic simulations Concentrates the results of two large German/French research groups Covers the most recent and most important aspects of CFD/CAA research regarding turbulent flows and jet noise
