Yes the ratio is wrong since you don't know if you modeled the right amount of energy. But in my opinion it's a first estimate to evaluate the quality of your mesh. For a coarser mesh the ratio will...

Ok but how do you plot the spectrum?

I can estimate the amount of resolved TKE by computing the resolved turbulent kinetic energy resTKEMean (1/2*trace(uPrime2Mean)) and then then estimate the...

Currently I'm using OneEqEddy, but I might try DynOneEgEddy. With my current mesh I can resolve >95% in the domain and go down to 10% near the wall. I will refine my mesh near the wall but maybe I'm...

I asked my supervising professor about this. He replied that in LES it is important to resolve the energy containing range of the spectrum. The cutoff should be in the inertial range. The 80% mark...

Is it wrong to use LES models for low resolution simulations?

LES models are designed to resolve a part of the turbulent effects and model the remaining part. There is a the "best-practice saying" that you should resolve at least 80% of the turbulent kinetic...
