Analysis of a Reduced-Order Approximate Deconvolution Model and its interpretation as a Navier-Stokes-Voigt regularization

We study mathematical and physical properties of a family of recently introduced, reduced-order approximate deconvolution models. We first show a connection between these models and the NS-Voigt model, and that NS-Voigt can be re-derived in the approximate deconvolution framework. We then study the energy balance and spectra of the model, and provide results of some turbulent flow computations that backs up the theory. Analysis of global attractors for the model is also provided, as is a detailed analysis of the Voigt model’s treatment of pulsatile flow.
