Large Eddy Simulation of a turbulent flow past a pair of symmetric backward-facing steps: A sensitivity analysis
Large Eddy Simulation is used to study the flow behind a pair of symmetric backward facing steps. As reported in the literature, the flow exhibits an asymmetric pattern characterized by the deflection of the jet toward of the walls. The LES results are compared to LDA measurements showing the ability of the present numerical tool to capture the complex features of the flow. Furthermore, a sensitiv
