Abstract: Abstract Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of developing turbulent boundary layers have been performed using a Finite Volume method with a locally refined grid near the wall. In the case of a zero pressure gradient boundary layer it is shown that the use of local grid refinement saves a considerable amount of computational resources. The method is then applied to an adverse pressure gradient boundary layer. The comparison of the results with an experiment performed by Watmuff [10] shows that the method is well suited for strongly developing turbulent flows.
