Thanks Tanmoy for the information you provided.

I am currently working on a problem very like a flow over cylinder, 
where the cylinder is located in a channel. However, there is no 
span-wise homogeneity in this problem (as opposed to the flow over 2D 
cylinder) due to the specific channel shape. Therefore, there is no need 
to averaging in spanwise planes. Beside planar averaging, however, I 
couldn't find any thing else in the dynamic SGS model of "turbchannel" 
example that needs to be modified for my case, as far as I understand.

Regards,
Mohsen
