Smagorinsky-Lilly model

In the Smagorinsky-Lilly model, the eddy-viscosity is modeled by

$\mu _{sgs} = \rho \left( {C_s \bar \Delta } \right)^2 \left| {\bar S} \right|$

Where

$\bar \Delta = \nabla ^{\frac{1}{3}}$

and

$\bar S = \sqrt {2S_{ij} S_{ij} }$

The effective viscosity is calculated from

$\mu _{eff} = \mu _{mol} + \mu _{sgs}$

The Smogorinsky constant usually have the value:

$C_s = 0.1 - 0.2$
