Questions on direct numerical simulation

feng_ji_ren

Hello everyone!

I am a graduate student.

I want to do the project:Three-dimensional direct numerical simulation on the wake of circular cylinder. (Reynolds number will be about 190~525)

It will be solved by my own program making by computer language(c language).There are many kinds of mathematical methods about this problem such as finite element,finite difference,LBG,spetral element,and so on.As I am a beginner,I don't know how to choose one of them.Because you know the time of everyone is limited.

So I want to ask which one is the best in the DNS. By the way,is it worth doing it (my project)?Sometimes I am doubted.This will be one part of my thesis .It is my fist step.

Thanks all of you for helping.

Good luck! You can contact me with my email:feng_ji_ren@hotmail.com
