Estimates for the LANS-α, Leray-α and Bardina Models in Terms of a Navier-Stokes Reynolds Number

Estimates for the three α-models known as the LANS-α, Leray-α and Bardina models are found in terms a Reynolds number associated with a Navier-Stokes velocity field. They are tabulated for comparative purposes and show clearly that all estimates for the Leray-α model are smaller than those for the LANS-α and Bardina models.
