The bi-annual Workshop series on Direct and Large Eddy Simulation (DLES) which started in 1994 focuses on modern techniques to simulate turbulent flows based on the partial or full resolution of the instantaneous turbulent flow structure. With the growing capacities of modern computers, this approach has been gaining more and more interest over the years and will undoubtedly be further enhanced and applied. The goal of the bi-annual DLES workshop series is to establish the state-of-the-art of DNS, LES and related techniques for the computation and modelling of turbulent and transitional flows.
