Idealised test cases

Abstract

In order to study the basic performance of boundary layer models, it is often advantageous to apply them first to idealised situations for which solutions are known from laboratory experiments or Large Eddy Simulation studies. This procedure does of course not guarantee that these models also perform sufficiently well for complex real-world problems. However, when the models already fail for such standard situations, it is almost certain that their performance in real-world situations is even worse.
