This paper describes a recent development of the Synthetic Eddy Method (SEM) proposed by Jarrin et al. (Int J Heat Fluid Flow 30(3):435–442, 2009 ) for generation of synthetic turbulence. The present scheme is designed to produce a divergence-free turbulence field that can reproduce almost all possi...
