Large eddy simulation of flow over a square cylinder in a channel is performed at Reynolds numbers of 22 000 and 21 400. The selective structure function (SSF) modelling of the subgrid-scale stress terms is used and the convective terms are discretized using quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinematics (QUICK) and central difference (CD) schemes. A series of time-averaged velocities, turbulent stresses, and some global flow parameters such as lift and drag coefficients and their fluctuations are computed and compared with experimental data. The suitability of SSF model has been shown by comparing the computed mean flow velocities and turbulent quantities with experiments. Results show negligible variation in the flow parameters for the two Reynolds numbers used in the present computations. It was observed that both QUICK and CD schemes are capable of obtaining results close to those of the experiments with some minor differences.
