"Modelling of turbulent flows applied to numerical simulations of galaxy clusters"

Abstract. FEARLESS (Fluid mEchanics with Adaptively Refined Large Eddy SimulationS) is a novel numerical approach for hydrodynamical simulations of turbulent flows, which combines the use of the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) with a subgridscale model for the unresolved scales. This tool has been implemented into the ENZO code, and first results from cosmological simulations of large scale structure and galaxy cluster evolution are here presented and discussed.
