Numerical simulations of fully developed turbulent channel flow at three Reynolds numbers up to are reported. It is noted that the higher Reynolds number simulations exhibit fewer low Reynolds number effects than previous simulations at A comprehensive set of statistics gathered from the simulations is available on the web at http://www.tam.uiuc.edu/Faculty/Moser/channel.
