For incompressible flow I:dev(

For incompressible flow I:dev(D) = tr(D) = 0 and so dev(D) = D. However numerically on a collocated mesh this is not exactly true and there will be some difference between using D and dev(D) but it...

D should be deviatoric for inc

D should be deviatoric for incompressible but numerics is not exact and div(U) != 0 exactly although div(phi) is zero to within solver tolerance. Using dev(D) ensures it deviatoric irrespective of...

Yes I agree, the laminar stres

Yes I agree, the laminar stress is sub-grid and so there is no reason why it should not be included in the definition of sub-grid stress used by the momentum equation. I think Beff is a good idea,...

In sub-grid stress models B is

In sub-grid stress models B is the stress corresponding to sub-grid turbulence and does not include the laminar stress so defining B from eddy viscosity models to include it would be inconsistent. I...

Currently we use B to refer to

Currently we use B to refer to the sub-grid stress and R the Reynolds stress which in LES runs is obtained by averaging the velocity fluctuations.

divDevB is as intersting idea but is this...

> [QUESTION 1]

B currently returns the sub-grid stress generated by the sub-grid turbulence and does not include the laminar stress.

divB returns the divergence of sub-grid stress including...
