Progress on the application of the NS-alpha model to wall-bounded flows

In this thesis we study the NS-alpha model of flow turbulence. In this model the closure arises through a modified nonlinearity. For the NS-alpha model currently used in published numerical studies, the parameter representing turbulent fluctuations, alpha, is a scalar and is assumed to be a constant...
