Abstract
The present article describes the recent developments carried out at the von Kármán Institute concerning the use of domain decomposition techniques as applied to the space filtered incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for the simulation of turbulent flows in complex geometries. Issues related tothe numerical method, based on a grid staggered velocity pressure representations, are addressed, with special emphasis on thesolution strategy of the elliptic kernel. Numerical results are presented for the flow over abackward facing step for which extensive and accurate DNS data are available in literature.
