On the prediction capabilities of two SGS models for large-eddy simulations of turbulent incompressible wall-bounded flows in OpenFOAM

A comprehensive evaluation of the prediction capabilities of two Sub-Grid-Scale (SGS) models, for Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of incompressible turbulent flows, is performed by studying two cases of flows through wall-bounded domains: a standard smooth-wall channel and a channel featuring fixed geo...
