Large eddy simulations of the flow around pyramids
Paper in proceeding, 2012
The paper presents results of large eddy simulations
(LES) of flows around two different pyramids
with apex angles of 60^o and 90^o. The pyramids
were studied in flows with a zero yaw angle
with respect to the incoming flow. The results of
our simulations were compared with the existing
experimental data, showing good results. Both
time-averaged and instantaneous flows resulting
from LES were investigated in detail and used to
confirm or extend previous knowledge about flows
around pyramids.
