    Thanks Tanmoy for the information you provided.<br>
    <br>
    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. <br>
    <br>
    Regards,<br>
    Mohsen<br>

        <div>Hi Mohsen, <br>

            Yes you are partially right. The eddy_viscosity routines
            (dynamic Smagorinsky to be precise) used in
            "turbChannel.usr" is indeed specific for channel geometries,
            but they can be applied to geometries having small
            deviations from channels, like backward facing step, box
            (lid driven cavity), flat plates with very little
            modification. They wont work for very complex geometries. <br>
            <br>
          </div>
          It is important to note, that the spatial averaging done in
          "turbChannel.usr" case is to brute-force spatial homogeneity
          of the statistics in that direction. If some geometry does not
          have special homogeneity in one particular direction (e.g.
          other than periodic boundary conditions) we can comment out
          the planar average routines.<br>
          <br>
        </div>
        I am personally using 3D flat plate geometry.<br>

                        </div>
                        Yes the turbChannel case is a good point to
                        start with. However, explicit filtering as LES
                        model only works when using wall-resolved LES.
                        My past experience shows, to use wall-model, one
                        must have a good eddy-viscosity model, to
                        properly emulate wall layer physics. Explicit
                        filtering of LES, is way too bad in preserving
                        the wall physics.<br>

                                              I have a question
                                              regarding LES capability
                                              of Nek.<br>
                                              I know that the explicit
                                              filtering introduced in
                                              Nek can be effective for
                                              velocity field to provide
                                              sort of eddy viscosity
                                              modeling. Nevertheless,
                                              there should be some form
                                              of modeling for the near
                                              wall regions, since it is
                                              almost infeasible to have
                                              DNS like resolution in
                                              such regions for problems
                                              with relatively high
                                              Reynolds number and large
                                              scale geometries. I have
                                              seen SFR assemblies
                                              example on the Nek web in
                                              which LES used, however, I
                                              am not sure if that was an
                                              LES with near-wall
                                              resolution or with
                                              near-wall modeling.<br>
                                              <br>
                                              So I was wondering if
                                              anyone has any experience
                                              of using Nek LES with near
                                              wall models, or kind of
                                              hybrid RANS-LES
                                              approaches.<br>
                                              <br>
                                              Thanks,<br>
