Resum	Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is a computational approach that solves the Navier-Stokes equations without turbulence models, resolving all scales of motion from the largest energy-containing eddies down to the smallest dissipative scales (Kolmogorov microscales). Pioneered by Steven Orszag in 1971, DNS provides complete information about turbulent flow fields and serves as a reference solution for validating turbulence models. However, extreme computational demands limit DNS to relatively simple geometries and low to moderate Reynolds numbers.	The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a kinetic theory-based computational approach to fluid dynamics that discretizes the Boltzmann equation on a lattice grid. Developed by McNamara and Zanetti in 1988, LBM computes fluid behavior by tracking the distribution of particle velocities at discrete lattice nodes rather than solving the Navier-Stokes equations directly. This method naturally incorporates complex physics (turbulence, multiphase flows, porous media) and is highly parallelizable, making it increasingly popular for modern computational platforms.
