Comparison of CFD Calculations with Experiments

In this section we first present major results of RANS computations of the considered flow performed with different turbulence models [7] and their comparison with the experimental data (sub-section 6.1). Then, in sub-section 6.2, results are presented of the scale-resolving simulations (enhanced RANS-LES methods [8], [9] and WRLES [6]). This sub-section begins with a comparison of flow visualizations from different simulations, which visually display turbulence resolving capabilities of the approaches used. Then, a comparison with the experimental data is shown for the main body of these simulations.
