Though LES methods have been validated by developers as specific methods and models are proposed or applied, most of these validations are not intended for hydraulic applications. We validate a LES method for analyzing open-channel

It is shown that proper treatment of wall boundary condition is necessary and a simple but practical wall stress model is sufficient to obtain accurate mean-flow and the instantaneous large-scale turbulence structure with moderate grid resolution. It is suggested that the turbulent stresses are determined more by shear-stress carrying large motions than by energy-dissipating small scale motions. Specific examples include very high Reynolds number flows in smooth and rough surface channels with three-dimensional mean flow and large changes with separation and recirculation.
