A Massively Parallel, Direction-Splitting Solver for DNS in Complex Geometries

The Direct Numerical Simulation of turbulent flows (DNS) has proved itself, over the years, an extremely valuable tool to investigate the fundamental properties of turbulence, often rivalling experiments by virtue of its accuracy and of the insight it offers to the investigator (Moin and Mahesh, Ann Rev Fluid Mech 30:539–578, 1998) [15].
