Large-Eddy Simulations (LES)
Spatially filtered Navier-Stokes equations,
whereby the small scale turbulence is removed.
Small-scale turbulence is modelled (Subgrid Scale
model, SGS).
Large-scale motions are resolved

Large-Eddy Simulations (LES)
In the OpenFOAM toolbox
Wall-modelled, rigid lid, standard Smagorinsky
Mesh size about 1cm => 4,2 million cells
Parallel computing on 32 processors
90° confluence, 3 discharge ratios q

Conclusions
Large eddy simulations have been used to
simulate the flow in a laboratory confluence
Discharge ratio is varied, corresponding to
increasingly dominant tributary inflow
Changes in flow patterns: impinging on opposing
wall, recirculating eddy
