The compressible block-structured flow solver FLOWer of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) has been extended towards state of the art detached-eddy simulation (DES) methods in order to conduct hybrid RANS/LES simulations of flow around rotary wings. The large-eddy simulation (LES) capabilities of the code are demonstrated for decaying isotropic turbulence. Excessive numerical dissipation is avoided by using the fifth-order WENO scheme and an appropriate low-Mach number correction. The DES implementations are validated first for the well documented test cases backward facing step and NACA0021 airfoil at (60^circ ) incidence, before increasing the complexity by simulating the flow around the MEXICO model wind turbine operating in stalled conditions and comparing with experimental data. From the latter, recommendations on the numerical settings are derived to successfully set up eddy resolving simulations for wind turbine or helicopter applications.
