A detailed comparison of the LES with the test case experiment is provided in Palau-Salvador et al (2010) and here only the main findings are reproduced. Fig. 5 shows contours of the mean streamwise velocity together with streamlines in the centre plane for both the shorter and the longer cylinder. Near the cylinder walls, LDV measurements could not be carried out so that there is a blanked out region in the experimental part of the figure. Overall, the contours of velocity and the streamlines show good agreement between LES and experiments, even though the length of recirculation behind the cylinder is slightly overpredicted for the long cylinder case. The core of the recirculation is located much closer to the cylinder in the long cylinder case and could not be resolved in the experiment. A more direct quantitative comparison of results is provided below in terms of profiles in Figures 8 &ndash 10. Fig. 6 compares contours of the streamwise and vertical fluctuations in the longitudinal centre plane for both cases. The main features are again predicted quite well, at least qualitatively (for quantitative comparison see Figs. 8 and 9) and this includes the differences between the two cases and between streamwise and vertical fluctuations.
