In this paper, flow around the Aerospatiale A-airfoil with a small spanwise extent at Re=2.1x10 6 and 13.3-deg angle of attack is computed using the Building-Cube Method (BCM), that was proposed aimed for DNS around real geometries with an expectation of near-future high-performance computers. In the BCM, a flow field is described as an assemblage of building blocks of cuboids, named ‘Cube’. Each cube is a sub-domain of the flow computation and an equally-spaced Cartesian mesh is used in it. This enables to use a high-density isotropic mesh in turbulent boundary layers. The computed results capture the main features of the A-airfoil flow, such as the transition near the leading edge and a small separation in the trailing edge region.
