Method

The Random Flow Generation (RFG) procedure generates a random divergence-free vector field, which can also satisfy extra conditions of anisotropy and inhomogeneity. The procedure can be used to generate inflow and initial conditions for LES (large-eddy simulations), and to serve as a subgrid-turbulence model in applications of particle-laden flows. The method has also potential in applications involving acoustic and electromagnetic fields. A detailed description of the method can be found in [7], and some of it's applications are described in [6,4,5,8,1].
