• DNS: maximum Reynolds number was 200; for transition to turbulence, estimated Reynolds number was 600; resolution proportional to Reynolds number so needed 33=27 times as many grid points

• LES: feasible but needed SGS models for two-phase coupled flow

• Solution: modify DNS code to run on a parallel machine, perform DNS at higher Reynolds number, derive SGS models based on DNS
