← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a large-eddy simulation (LES) model neglects subgrid-scale kinetic energy backscatter in turbulent systems?
A)Underprediction of peak Reynolds stresses
B)Overestimation of turbulent kinetic energy
C)Artificial damping of resolved scales✓
D)Numerical instability due to aliasing
💡 Explanation
When LES models neglect backscatter, kinetic energy dissipates artificially from the resolved to unresolved scales because the subgrid-scale model excessively removes energy instead of allowing the appropriate inverse transfer. Therefore, artificial damping increases; rather than accurate Reynolds stress because LES underestimates this production, and other instabilities arise from other numerical artifacts.
