High-Reynolds-number wall-modelled large eddy simulations of turbulent pipe flows using explicit and implicit subgrid stress treatments within a spectral element solver

We present explicit and implicit large eddy simulations for fully developed turbulent pipe flows using a continuous-Galerkin spectral element solver. On the one hand, the explicit stretched-vortex model (by Misra and Pullin [45] and Chung and Pullin [14]), accounts for an explicit treatment of unresolved stresses and is adapted to the high-order solver.
