It also models the smallest (and most expensive) scales of the solution, rather than resolving them as direct numerical simulation (DNS) does.
In contrast, direct numerical simulation, which resolves every scale of the solution, is prohibitively expensive for nearly all systems with complex geometry or flow configurations.
A direct numerical simulation of solar convection would have to resolve this entire range of scales in each of the three dimensions.
However, direct numerical simulation is a useful tool in fundamental research in turbulence.
Being a rare event, the flux is very small and practically impossible to compute with a direct simulation.
GEM uses a novel electromagnetic algorithm allowing direct numerical simulation of the electromagnetic problem at high plasma pressures.
Simulators quickly followed these introductions, permitting direct simulation of chip designs: executable specifications.
He continued, "Mirror neurons allow us to grasp the minds of others not through conceptual reasoning but through direct simulation.
The theoretical models discussed above are tested using the high resolution direct numerical simulation (DNS).
It is mainly used in the field of direct numerical simulations.
