The DNS code ns3d  is based on the complete Navier-Stokes equations for compressible fluids with the assumptions of an ideal gas and the Sutherland law for air.  The differential equations are discretized in streamwise and wall-normal directions with 6^th-order compact or 8^th-order explicit finite differences.  Time integration is performed with a four-step, 4^th-order Runge-Kutta scheme.  Implicit and explicit filtering in space and time is possible if resolution or convergence problems occur.  The code has been continuously optimized for vector and massive-parallel computer systems until the current Cray XC40 system.  Boundary conditions for sub- and supersonic flows can be appropriately specified at the boundaries of the integration domain.  Grid transformation is used to cluster grid points in regions of interest, e.g. near a wall or a corner.  For parallelization, the domain is split into several subdomains as illustrated in the figure.
