Formal Introduction to Scale Separation: Band-Pass Filtering.- Application to Navier-Stokes Equations.- Other Mathematical Models for the Large-Eddy Simulation Problem.- Functional Modeling (Isotropic Case).- Functional Modeling: Extension to Anisotropic Cases.- Structural Modeling.- Numerical Solution: Interpretation and Problems.- Analysis and Validation of Large-Eddy Simulation Data.- Boundary Conditions.- Coupling Large-Eddy Simulation with Multiresolution/Multidomain Techniques.- Hybrid RANS/LES Approaches.- Implementation.- Examples of Applications.- Coupling with Passive/Active Scalar.

First concise textbook on Large-Eddy Simulation, a very important method in scientific computing and engineering

From the foreword to the third edition written by Charles Meneveau: "... this meticulously assembled and significantly enlarged description of the many aspects of LES will be a most welcome addition to the bookshelves of scientists and engineers in fluid mechanics, LES practitioners, and students of turbulence in general."
