Abstract

Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of flow around the Silsoe Cube (h = 6 m) for perpendicular approach flow were performed for Reh= 4×106. The aim was to assess the ability of LES to estimate mean surface pressure at the cube outer walls. Simulations on 3 structured grids with grid refinement close to the cube were performed. The LES predicted pressure coefficients showed on average a relative absolute deviation of 13% from the full-scale measurements with relative deviations between -31 and +41% with the smallest deviations at the roof and the largest deviations at the back wall.
