Results of direct numerical (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent longitudinal flow in rod bundles are presented using the lattice Boltzmann method with the Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook collision operator [P.L. Bhatnagar, E.P. Gross, M. Krook, A model for collision processes in gases....

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) form an important ingredient to physics-based prediction of laminar-turbulent transition in boundary-layer flows, particularly in applications where it is desirable or even essential to model the various stages of transition process in an integrated manner....
