The large eddy simulation(LES)on the gas flow field over a simplified experimental reduced-scale barchan dune model was performed with the Smagorinsky SGS model to obtain the turbulent flow field characteristics on lee of the barchan dune more accurately. The wind field turbulent flow modes on the lee with various stoss slope and height of the dune were studied at the same wind velocity. The surface friction coefficient distribution in the lee region was obtained. The length of the recirculation zone and turbulent intensity distribution were discussed. The results show that LES can reveal the lee turbulent flow field characteristics better. The flow field re-attachment distance increases with the stoss slope and the dune height. The turbulence intensity inside the recirculation zone is generally greater than that outside the recirculation zone. The maximum turbulence intensity at the location of lee toe and re-attachment occurs near the surface and increases with the dune height. The maximum turbulence intensity at the location of the central recirculation zone appears at the top of the recirculation zone and increases first and then remains unchanged with an increase in the dune height.
