תקציר	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 Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations represent a time-averaged form of the Navier-Stokes equations developed by Osborne Reynolds in 1895. This approach decomposes turbulent flow into mean and fluctuating components, enabling practical simulation of turbulent flows by modeling turbulent stresses rather than resolving all scales. RANS remains the most widely used computational fluid dynamics method in engineering applications due to its computational efficiency.
