DNS in Geophysics: Resources & Implementation

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the implementation of Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) in the context of geophysical research, specifically related to Earth's core dynamics. Participants explore resources and methodologies for effectively utilizing DNS in their projects.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant is seeking resources for implementing DNS efficiently, particularly in relation to finite volume codes and varying resolutions.
  • Another participant expresses a lack of familiarity with the specific DNS code mentioned and requests clarification.
  • There is a suggestion that the original poster might receive more assistance if the thread were moved to a computer forum, indicating a potential overlap in topics.
  • A request is made for information about the pre-existing code the original poster intends to use, including whether it is publicly available or referenced in any academic papers.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on the best resources or methods for implementing DNS, and there are varying levels of familiarity with the topic among contributors.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved questions regarding the specifics of the DNS implementation and the availability of the pre-existing code mentioned by the original poster.

Hi all,

I am soon starting a research project into Earths core dynamics, and will be using a pre existing code. I understand the principle of DNS and resolving for all different resolutions. But I do not really understand how to implement that efficiently. Does anyone have any good resources for me?

I imagine using something like a finite volume code, and then running for different resolutions? Not a clue how to do DNS in practice.

Cheers all

I am not familiar with DNS computer code in the way you are suggesting, can you clarify? Thanks!

Thanks, do you think perhaps you might get more help in the computer forum? I can move this thread and leave a re-direct for a few days.

Please do, if you think that's best. My apologies

No problem. That way it will get views from both forums at the same time, it does cross both forums.
