QLES2007, 24-26 October 2007 - Information for Authors
The focus of QLES will be on issues related to assessing,
assuring, and predicting the quality of LES. The tendency to apply
LES-methodologies to turbulent flow problems of significant
complexity, such as arise in various applications in technology and
in many natural flows puts this workshop in its timely context.
Different error sources in LES are related to subgrid-scale
modeling, to numerical discretization techniques, to
boundary-condition treatments, etc. To establish the credibility of
LES as a tool for the innovation of industrial flow applications
and the study of complex-physics problems, a comprehension of the
nonlinear error-accumulation arising in large-eddy simulations is
required.
The QLES workshop invites original contributions which enhance
the knowledge on error sources and their interaction in LES, and
may lead to criteria for the prediction and optimization of
simulation quality. The workshop will concentrate on topics such
as:
 |
mathematical analysis and foundation for subgrid
modeling, |
| |
numerical and mathematical analysis of
subgrid-scale-model and discretization errors, |
| |
computational error-assessment, |
| |
high-Reynolds number modeling and error-assessment
of near-wall flows, |
| |
error assessment in complex applications, |
| |
treatment of boundary conditions, inflow
boundaries, generation of artificial turbulence, and related
errors. |
A connection with benchmark problems studied in the COST Action
LES-AID is pursued.

Paper Layout. Please prepare your
manuscripts with LaTeX, using Springer's "svmult.cls" style file.
The length of the paper is limited to 12 pages using this
layout. Please refrain from using exotic LaTeX packages, other then
those commonly available at CTAN. The style file, an instruction
manual, and a sample manuscript may be dowloaded here (as .zip
archive). We suggest that you use the "qles_authsamp.tex" as
starting point for your manuscript. |

Submission (October 1, 2007). Submit your
LaTeX source file, the separate figures, and a pdf of your
manuscript to Johan Meyers. Name your figures
"firsAuthor_fig1.eps", "firsAuthor_fig2.eps", etc. and use the same
names in the LaTeX source file. Ensure that your paper, including
figures and references does not exceed the 12 page limit. |

The COST Action P20 LES-AID is a 4 year EU program that started
early February 2006. The aim of this COST Action is to stimulate
the development and application of small-scale turbulence modeling
and numerical methods needed for large-eddy simulation of realistic
technological and scientific problems. In the framework of this
program, benchmark problems for the testing and development of LES
methods are being defined. Currently, one benchmark case is up and
running, related to WG3 of LES-AID, which covers the large-eddy
simulation of multi-phase turbulence. This benchmark is related to
the simulation of particle-laden flows, and a detailed description
can be downloaded
(pdf). The complete datasets of the reference direct numerical
simulations are downloadable from the iCFDdatabase.
QLES2007 will provide a platform for first reporting on this
benchmark, and a special dedicated session will be attributed for
this. Interested contributors should follow the same time line as
for standard submissions (see above). However, please direct
two-page abstracts (May 2) and the full paper (October
1) to Hans Kuerten AND Johan Meyers
