Abstract
Recent advances in direct numerical simulation methodology are reviewed. These include numerical methods for complex geometries, boundary conditions at the open boundaries, and applications to compressible flows. Some instructive numerical experiments that would be difficult to perform in the laboratory are described. The primary example is the isolation of the minimal flow unit near the wall and its application to the study of the flow over riblets, three-dimensional boundary layers, and active control of turbulent boundary layers.
