Approximate Deconvolution Models for Magnetohydrodynamics

We consider the family of approximate deconvolution models (ADM) for the simulation of the large eddies in turbulent viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting flows. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the ADM-MHD equations, their weak converge to the solution of the MHD equations as the averaging radii tend to zero, and derive a bound on the modeling error. We demonstrate that the energy and helicity of the models are conserved, and the models preserve the Alfvén waves. We provide the results of the computational tests, that verify the accuracy and physical fidelity of the models.
