New Paper by Mukha & Parsani - Large-Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Channel Flow with OpenFOAM

We at the OpenFOAM Journal are happy to announce the first paper of the new Volume 6 (2026).

It is a contribution from Timofey Mukha and Matteo Parsani titled

Large-Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Channel Flow with OpenFOAM

This works is published in the "Educational Papers" section as it is written in a pedagogical way to serve as an entry point for everyone who wants to start with scale-resolving simulations.

The authors present a validation of a turbulent channel flow at Re_tau 1000 and they compare implicit LES with the Sigma subgrid-scale model. The best part is that they provide the full case setup and the codes used for post-processing.

If you are interested in LES or need a solid benchmark case, you should have a look. You can read the paper and download the cases here.
