We have designed a simple multi-scale method that identifies turbulent motions in hydrodynamical grid simulations. The method does not assmume ant a-priori coherence scale to distinguish laminar and turbulent flows. Instead, the local mean…

We study the sub-grid scale characteristics of a vorticity-transport-based approach for large-eddy simulations. In particular, we consider a multi-dimensional upwind scheme for the vorticity transport equations and establish its properties…

By analogy with the kinetic theory of gases, most turbulence modeling strate- gies rely on an eddy viscosity to model the unresolved turbulent fluctuations. How- ever, the ratio of unresolved to resolved scales - very much like a degree of…

Considering turbulence is crucial to understanding clouds. However, covering all scales involved in the turbulent mixing of clouds with their environment is computationally challenging, urging the development of simpler models to represent…

We study the properties of ISM substructure and turbulence in hydrodynamic (AMR) galaxy simulations with resolutions up to 0.8 pc and 5x10^3 Msun. We analyse the power spectrum of the density distribution, and various components of the…
