Turbulence modelling and simulation

RANS turbulence modelling research

• EARSM modelling for complex flow effects such as:
  - rotating flows
  - strongly curved flows
  - adverse pressure gradient flows (separating flows)
  - confluent boundary layers and wakes partly in collaboration
    with FOI and KTH (Sweden)

• Modelling of near-wall- and low Reynolds number turbulence
• A number of new models have been published

Turbulence simulation research

• Development of pressure-correction based code for LES and DNS
• Applications to:
  - jets in cross flows partly in collaboration with Stanford University
  - interacting jet systems
  - instabilities in low Re pulsating flows (loudspeakers of mobile phones)
