Direct numerical simulation was performed for a spatially advancing turbulent flow in a two-dimensional curved channel. The radius ratio of the curved part, α , was set at 0.92, the same as Kobayashi et al.'s experiment. And the friction Reynolds number, Re_<τ0>, was set at 550. Numerically solved mean velocity field showed trends consistent with the experiment. As a result, the validity of the simulation was confirmed. Instantaneous flow field implied that micro-scale structures near the outer wall were related to the birth and growth of large-scale vortices.
