For the direct numerical simulation of incompressible turbulent flows, we have started to develop a special solver based on structured meshes with a fast multigrid algorithm incorporating projection-like schemes. The main idea is to use non-conforming finite elements for the velocities with piecewise constant pressures, leading to a special structure of the discrete Schur complement, when an explicit treatment of the convection and diffusion term is used.
