Résumé	Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a turbulence modeling technique that explicitly resolves large-scale turbulent eddies while modeling small-scale subgrid-scale (SGS) motions. Introduced by Joseph Smagorinsky in 1963, LES represents a middle ground between Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). By capturing the energy-containing scales of turbulence, LES provides superior accuracy for transient flows and complex geometries at computational costs significantly lower than DNS.	The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a kinetic theory-based computational approach to fluid dynamics that discretizes the Boltzmann equation on a lattice grid. Developed by McNamara and Zanetti in 1988, LBM computes fluid behavior by tracking the distribution of particle velocities at discrete lattice nodes rather than solving the Navier-Stokes equations directly. This method naturally incorporates complex physics (turbulence, multiphase flows, porous media) and is highly parallelizable, making it increasingly popular for modern computational platforms.
