Abstract: The rational large eddy simulation (RLES) model is applied to turbulent channel flows. This approximate deconvolution model is based on a rational (subdiagonal Pade') approximation of the Fourier transform of the Gaussian filter and is proposed as an alternative to the gradient (also known as the nonlinear or tensor-diffusivity) model. We used a spectral element code to perform large eddy simulations of incompressible channel flows at Reynolds numbers based on the friction velocity and the channel half-width Re{sub tau} = 180 and Re{sub tau} = 395. We compared the RLES model with the gradient model. The RLES results showed a clear improvement over those corresponding to the gradient model, comparing well with the fine direct numerical simulation. For comparison, we also present results corresponding to a classical subgrid-scale eddy-viscosity model such as the standard Smagorinsky model.
