Evaluation of Second- and High-Order Solvers in Wall-Resolved Large-Eddy Simulation

What is it about?

In the context of wall-resolved industrial large eddy simulation, a comparison is made between a high order flux reconstruction (FR)/correction procedure via reconstruction (CPR) solver (hpMusic) with p-refinement and a commercial 2nd order finite volume solver (Fluent) with mesh refinement (h-refinement). A well-known benchmark problem in turbomachinery is employed. The high-order FR/CPR method is shown to achieve a higher accuracy at a reduced cost than the 2nd order finite volume method.
