Direct Numerical Simulation on a wing profile

1 billion points DNS (Direct Numerical Simulation) on a NACA4412 profile at 5 degrees angle of attack. Reynolds number is 350000 per airfoil chord and Mach number is 0.117. Both upper and lower turbulent boundary layers are tripped respectively at 15% and 50% by roughness elements evenly spaced in the boundary layer created by a zonal immersed boundary condition (Journal of Computational Physics, Volume 363, 15 June 2018, Pages 231-255,...
