   In many cases, LES models are using cyclic horizontal boundary conditions.
   \par\bigskip
   \textbf{Why?}
   \par\bigskip
   \begin{itemize}
      \item<2->{LES requires that the main energy containing eddies are resolved by the model.}
      \item<3->{With cyclic boundary conditions, turbulence can freely develop and is not effected by the side walls (because there are no walls!).}
      \item<4->{Non-cyclic boundary conditions give problems:}
      \begin{itemize}
         \par\smallskip
         \item<5->{If Dirichlet conditions (fixed vertical profiles) are used at the inflow, the inflow is laminar and some (significant) domain space is needed in order to develop                         turbulence.}
         \par\smallskip
         \item<6->{At the outflow, a boundary condition is required which allows the eddies to freely leave the domain.}
