The LES is based on classical models like the dynamic Smagorinsky approach or the approximate deconvolution method. Two test problems are solved: the lid-driven cubical cavity and the differentially heated cavity. With the DNS data as benchmark solutions, it is shown that the numerical results produced by the UDNS calculation are of the same accuracy, even in some cases of better quality, as the LES computations.
