Flow over a backward-facing step: Q iso-surface coloured by mean velocity values depict the unsteady turbulent content generated by our DES model when it switches to eddy simulation mode past the step.

Tip leakage flow in a compressor cascade: The tip gap between the compressor blade and the endwall leads to the generation of a tip leakage vortex, which can be observed from the vorticity iso-surface coloured by mean velocity values.
