LES filtering
We can decompose f into its filtered part [f] and subgrid part f":
f = [f] + f" ------------------ 1 If we interpret [f] as the total-field filtered, can we then re-decompose it for a second time, i.e: f = [ [f] + f" ] + f" ------------------ 2 which is the same as: f = [ [f] ] + [f"] + f" ------------------ 3 Can some one please tell me if we can do this? Is equation 1 = equation 3? i.e. is [f] + f" = [ [f] ] + [f"] + f" for all types of filter? Thanks. |
Re: LES filtering
Yes, you can do that. In fact it is the base for scale similar models and I do not think it depends on the type of filter.

Re: LES filtering
Yes but this decomposition doesn't help much. [f"] is NOT 0 so you do not go very far. Using spectral filters [f"]=0 and then [[f]]=[f] Check Pope's book on turbulent flows

Re: LES filtering
You will have to say more about the properties of your filters. If [f"] = 0 and [[f]] = [f] then yes but this is trivial. Usually a second filter is different to the first and, hence, the subgrid components are different.

Re: LES filtering
Your derivation is correct and [f] + f" = [ [f] ] + [f"] + f" is valid for all types of filters. The only thing you assumed is that the filter kernel is distributive, i.e. [ [f] + f'' ] = [ [f] ] + [f''].
In fact the filtering convolution integral is associative, commutative and distributive ... so the algebra is simple. |

thanks guys this has been helpful.
