We develop hybrid RANS-LES strategies within Nek5000 for application to airfoil sections at small flight configurations. We present a validation and verification study of $$k \space – \space \tau$$ SST applied to a NACA 0012 wing section in a pure RANS and in a hybrid RANS-LES setup. The study shows good corroboration with existing experimental and numerical datasets. We also analyze some of the observed discrepancies with the experiments by evaluating the side wall “blocking” effect. We demonstrate that for the hybrid turbulence modeling approach a high-order spectral- element discretization converges faster (i.e., with less resolution) than a representative low-order finite-volume-based approach.
