Com- puter speed (in FLOPS ... floating- -point operations
per second) and RAM memory requirements for numericl solution
of turbulent flows. Reynolds equations (based upon statistical approach) are at the
limit of what is possible in practical engineering problems. DNS is still more or less
a dream - several extremely laborious compu- tations performed
so far are still only for Reynolds numbers well below realistic values. |  |
