Abstract

This chapter is devoted to analyze the numerical performances of the models and numerical techniques that we have studied in the preceding chapters. It is intended to provide a starting guide to the numerical discretization of VMS models for students and researchers interested in the computation of turbulent flows. With this purpose we test the practical performances of the VMS models, in some relevant benchmark turbulent flows.
