Abstract

We review studies of the statistics of isotropic turbulence in an incompressible fluid at high Reynolds numbers using direct numerical simulation (DNS) from the viewpoint of fundamental physics. The Reynolds number achieved by the largest DNS, with 4096 3 grid points, is comparable with the largest ...
