Hi,

As we know Detached Eddy Simulation is a hybrid method switching between RANS (e.g. with the Spalart-Allmaras model) and classical LES (e.g. with the Smagorinsky SGS model) via a length scale term and grid cell size.

Since Implicit LES does not have a SGS model, but instead uses the numercial scheme for dissipation, is it possible to formulate DES with ILES instead of classical LES? I don't think it can becuase of the lack of a SGS model but would like to know what others think.

Thanks

In principle, if you recognize that the numerical scheme produces a local truncation error able to mimic the eddy viscosity model LES and ILES solutions can produce equivalent statistics. This requires special numerical schemes. I such cases DES would result feasible.
However, in general ILES can not mimic the behaviour of more sophysticated SGS model ...

Check this:

and the references cited therein. However, the basic idea should be to let the DES model tend toward a null model in the LES zone (instead of a classic Smagorinsky model).
