TLDR
In this article, the authors present three broad classes of approaches: bypassing this region altogether using wall functions, solving a separate set of equations in the nearwall region, weakly coupled to the outer flow, or simulating the near-wall region in a global, Reynolds-averaged, sense.Abstract:
The numerical simulation of high Reynolds number flows is hampered by model accuracy if the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations are used, and by computational cost if direct or large-eddy simulations (LES) that resolve the near-wall layer are employed. The cost of a calculation scales like the Reynolds number to the power 3 for direct numerical simulations, or 2.4 for LES, making the resolution of the wall layer at high Reynolds number infeasible even with the most advanced computers. In LES, an attractive alternative to compute high-Re flows is the use of wall-layer models, in which only the outer layer is resolved, while the near-wall region is modeled. Three broad classes of approaches are presently used: bypassing this region altogether using wall functions, solving a separate set of equations in the near-wall region, weakly coupled to the outer flow, or simulating the near-wall region in a global, Reynolds-averaged, sense. These approaches are discussed and their ranges of applicability are highlighted. Various unresolved issues in wall-layer modeling are presented.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the DES97 model, denoted DES97 from here on, which can exhibit an incorrect behavior in thin boundary layers and shallow separation regions, when the grid spacing parallel to the wall becomes less than the boundary-layer thickness.

A hybrid RANS-LES approach with delayed-DES and wall-modelled LES capabilities
TL;DR: In this article, a CFD strategy is proposed that combines delayed detached-eddy simulation (DDES) with an improved RANS-LES hybrid model aimed at wall modelling in LES (WMLES).

Detached-Eddy Simulation
TL;DR: This review discusses compelling examples, noting the visual and quantitative success of DES and its principal weakness is its response to ambiguous grids, in which the wall-parallel grid spacing is of the order of the boundary-layer thickness.
