AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Large eddy simulation of the flow over a circular cylinder at Reynolds number Re<sub>D</sub>=2580 has been studied
with a high-order unstructured spectral difference method. Grid and polynomial refinement studies were carried
out to assess numerical errors. The mean and fluctuating velocity fields in the wake of a circular cylinder were
compared with PIV experimental measurements. The numerical results are in excellent agreement with the experimental
data for both the mean velocity and Reynolds stresses using the high-order SD scheme. Other wake characteristics
such as the recirculation bubble length, vortex formation length and maximum intensity of the velocity fluctuations
have also been predicted accurately. The numerical simulations demonstrated the potential of the high-order SD method
in accurate large eddy simulation of physically complex problems.</p>
