This paper addresses the error in large-eddy simulation with wall-modeling (i.e., when the wall shear stress is modeled and the viscous near-wall layer is not resolved): the error in estimating the wall shear stress from a given outer-layer velocity field using auxiliary near-wall RANS equations where convection is not neglected. By considering the behavior of turbulence length scales near a wall, the cause of the errors is diagnosed and solutions that remove the errors are proposed based solidly on physical reasoning. The resulting method is shown to accurately predict equilibrium boundary layers at very high Reynolds number, with both realistic instantaneous fields (without overly elongated unphysical near-wall structures) and accurate statistics (both skin friction and turbulence quantities).

It has been recognized that the subgrid-scale (SGS) parameterization represents a critical component of a successful large-eddy simulation (LES). Commonly used linear SGS models produce erroneous mean velocity profiles in LES of high-Reynolds-number boundary layer flows. Although recently proposed approaches to solving this problem have resulted in significant improvements, questions about the true nature of the SGS problem in shear-driven high-Reynolds-number flows remain open.We argue that the SGS models must capture inertial transfer effects including backscatter of energy as well as its redistribution among the normal SGS stress components. These effects are the consequence of nonlinear interactions and anisotropy. In our modelling procedure we adopt a phenomenological approach whereby the SGS stresses are related to the resolved velocity gradients. We show that since the SGS stress tensor is not frame indifferent a more general nonlinear model can be applied to the SGS parameterization. We develop a nonlinear SGS model capable of reproducing the effects of SGS anisotropy characteristic for shear-driven boundary layers. The results obtained using the nonlinear model for the LES of a neutral shear-driven atmospheric boundary layer show a significant improvement in prediction of the non-dimensional shear and low-order statistics compared to the linear Smagorinsky-type models. These results also demonstrate a profound effect of the SGS model on the flow structures.
