DNS stands for Direct Numerical Simulation. A DNS simulation is a simulation where all physical scales of the flow are resolved and no [[Turbulence modeling | turbulence model]] is used. DNS simulations normally require large computational resources and are only possible to do for fairly low [[Reynolds number | Reynolds numbers]].
