Abstract
Implicit Large Eddy Simulation is an emerging tool for turbulence modelling. Insteadof explicitely computing subgrid stress models, numerical dissipation of nonlinear schemes canbe used as a main control mechanism of turbulent energy transfer. In this contribution we testperformance of a high-resolution incompressible projection method in modelling of the Taylor-Green vortex flow, which stands as a prototype of a simple free flow with a transition to turbulenceand a turbulence decay. Several criteria are used to asses the model, including the kinetic energydissipation rate, kinetic energy spectra and probability density functions of velocity gradients.
