CDF Computer simulations Turbulent algorithms

The talk will introduce an efficient, accurate, and robust Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software package utilizing a finite-volume algorithm on structured multiblock grids to simulate challenging three-dimension unsteady turbulent flows for multi-disciplinary applications like aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, and combustion, showcasing its successes and remaining challenges in large-eddy simulations for complex reactive flows.

Mathematical modeling Turbulent

The understanding and description of turbulent flows poses several different problems in which theory, modeling, and (numerical) experiments interact in a multidisciplinary way. In this talk we present some of the basic tools, focusing on the mathematical foundation of the models used to describe the larger scales of the incompressible motions at high Reynolds number. Recent perspectives and open problems are also discussed.
