Abstract
Assuming a general constitutive relation for the turbulent stresses in terms of the local large-scale velocity gradient, we constructed a class of subgrid-scale models for large-eddy simulation that are consistent with important physical and mathematical properties. In particular, they preserve symmetries of the Navier–Stokes equations and exhibit the proper near-wall scaling. They furthermore show desirable dissipation behavior and are capable of describing nondissipative effects. We provided examples of such physically-consistent models and showed that existing subgrid-scale models do not all satisfy the desired properties.
