Description

In the present article, the large eddy simulation (LES) technique for the study of compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence is developed. The filtered equations of magnetohydrodynamics of compressible fluid are obtained with the use of a mass-weighted filtering procedure (Favre filtering). Favre-filtered equations for large-scale components of turbulence include subgrid-scale terms describing subgrid phenomena. Different models for closure of subgrid terms are suggested. In this work numerical simulation of filtered magnetohydrodynamic equations and an analysis of the received characteristics of turbulent flow is carried out. The obtained results of numerical computations for different LES models are compared with the results of direct numerical simulation
