Defect Correction Methods for Fluid Flows at High Reynolds Numbers

Defect Correction Methods for Fluid Flows at High Reynold’s Numberspresents the mathematical development of defect correction methods (DCM) in application to fluid flow problems in various settings. We will show several approaches to applying the DCM ideas in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) – from a basic idea of controlling the flow by the means of increased diffusion, to the state-of-the-art family of novel, DCM-based turbulence models. The main idea of the methods presented in this book, is to use defect correction in turbulence modelling; additionally, several methods will also be presented, that aim at reducing the time discretization error.
