An Alternative Scheme to Calculate the Strain Rate Tensor for the LES Applications in the LBM

Large eddy simulations (LES) based on the Smagorinsky model can be conveniently used in the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) because the strain rate tensor, Sij, used to determine the eddy kinematic viscosity can be calculated from the second-order moment of the nonequilibrium distribution function, a...
