Subgrid-models for Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of compressible turbulent flow are tested for the three-dimensional mixing layer. For the turbulent stress tensor the recently developed dynamic mixed model yields reasonable results. A priori estimates of the subgrid-terms in the filtered energy equation show that the usually neglected pressure-dilatation and turbulent dissipation rate are as large as the commonly retained pressure-velocity subgrid-term. Models for all these terms are proposed: a similarity model for the pressure-dilatation, similarity and k-dependent models for the turbulent dissipation rate and a dynamic mixed model for the pressure-velocity subgrid-term. Actual LES demonstrates that for a low Mach number all subgrid-terms in the energy equation can be neglected, while for a moderate Mach number the effect of the modelled turbulent dissipation rate is larger than the combined effect of the other modelled subgrid-terms in the filtered energy equation. Key words: large eddy simulation, compressible mixing layer 1. Introduction Most turbulent flows contain too many scales for a Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of the Navier-Stokes equations. A Large Eddy Simulation (LES) tackles this problem by solving only the large scales, while the effect of the small (subgrid-) scales is modelled (Rogallo and Moin [1]). Considerable effort has been directed towards the development of subgrid-models for LES of i
