High speed and high capacity data system for analyzing very-large-scale direct numerical simulation databases with billions of mesh points

在NSERC发现基金“不可压缩平板边界层和管流的基础研究”的支持下，我们小组目前正在研究从80到4000的连续动量-厚度雷诺数范围内的零压力梯度平板边界层，以及从层流到过渡到完全湍流的空间发展管流。我们关于这一主题的三篇论文分别在2009年和2010年被该领域两家最好的期刊作为封面文章。其中一条已经被引用了50多次。世界知名专家发表了两篇专门评论我们论文的独立文章。在边界层和管道流动的直接数值模拟方面，我们已经确立了自己作为世界领先的CFD团队的地位。

With the support of the NSERC Discovery Grant "Fundamental Studies on Incompressible Flat-Plate Boundary Layer and Pipe Flow", our group is currently performing investigations on the zero-pressure-gradient flat-plate boundary layer over a continuous momentum-thickness Reynolds number range from 80 to 4,000 as well as the spatially-developing pipe flow from laminar through transition to fully turbulent. Three of our papers on the subject were featured individually in 2009 and 2010 as the cover-page articles by the two best journals in the field. One of them has already been cited more than 50 times. Two independent articles specifically commenting on our paper were published by world-renowned experts. We have established ourselves as one of the leading CFD groups in the world on direct numerical simulation of boundary layer and pipe flows.
