Wall functions in computational fluid mechanics

Abstract Wall functions are a powerful tool in complex flows calculations. Unfortunately, often blind and inappropriate use of them have given the impression that they should be avoided. Our aim though this paper is, without being exhaustive, to correct some of these prejudges and to point some advantages of wall functions, not only from the complexity point of view but also from their greater modeling capacity.
