I will make a short review of some continous approximations to the Navier-Stokes equations, especially with the aim of introducing alpha models for the Large Eddy Simulation of turbulent flows. Next, I will present some recent results about approximate deconvolution models, derived with ideas similar to image processing. Finally, I will show the rigorous convergence of solutions towards those of the averaged fluid equations.
