Summary of experience

The final chapter aims to summarise the experience gained with respect to the performance of turbulence models over the variety of applications considered in the FLOMANIA project. To achieve a level of summary whilst adhering to the case-specific nature of the problem, the discussion is based on groups of flows. This may also assist the potential users seeking to apply the knowledge gained in FLOMANIA to their own applications. As a significant amount of effort has been dedicated to hybrid methods, in particular DES, background models used by these methods are addressed in addition to pure RANS investigations. Furthermore, any derivable best practice guidelines are presented, and the inherent limitations of the applied evaluation procedure are outlined.
