Computational resources have developed to the level that, for the first time,it is becoming possible to apply large-eddy simulation (LES) to turbulent flow problems of realistic complexity. Many examples can be found in technology and in a variety of natural flows. This puts issues related to assessing, assuring, and predicting the quality of LES into the spotlight. Several LES studieshave been published in the past, demonstrating a high level of accuracy with which turbulent flow predictions can be attained, without having to resort to the excessive requirements on computational resources imposed by direct numerical simulations. However, the setup and use of turbulent flow simulations requires a profound knowledge of fluid mechanics, numerical techniques, and the application under consideration. First fully dedicated collection on quality andreliability of large-eddy simulations The topic of quality in LES has been gaining interest recently: several upcoming conferences include special sessionson this topic (e.g. DLES7, Trieste, 2008; TNF9, Montreal, 2008) INDICE: From the contents Part I Numerical and mathematical analysis of subgrid-scale-model and discretization errors. Part II Computational error-assessment. Part III Modelling and error-assessment of near-wall flows. Part IV Error assessment in complex applications.
