A class of implicit Subgrid-Scale (SGS) models for Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) is obtained from a new approach for the finite-volume discretization of hyperbolic conservation laws. The extension of a standard deconvolution operator and the choice of a suitable numerical flux function result in a truncation error that can be forced to act as a physical turbulence model.
As determined by a modified-differential-equation analysis, the free parameters of this implicit SGS model can be adjusted to approximate a known explicit SGS model. Computational results for the viscous Burgers equation show that the model with parameters identified by evolutionary optimization gives significantly better predictions than other models.
