A review of progress on direct and large-eddy simulation

A review is given of direct and large-eddy simulation which is intended to summarize state-of-the-art research presented during the 1999 Isaac Newton Institute Programme on Turbulence. Introductions to the techniques are given, along with examples of applications across a range of turbulent and transitional flow problems. Recent developments in techniques for large-eddy simulation are highlighted. The discussion includes a summary of the guidelines proposed during the programme for practical large-eddy simulations and comments on problem areas that require further research
