LES of particle-laden flows

CTR develops LES models for particle-laden turbulence to predict how dense particles accumulate and cluster together within a turbulent flow field.

Predictive simulations of supersonic jet noise

Aircraft are one of the loudest sources of human-created noise. We use computers to understand fundamental physics of noise propagation from aircraft engines.

Two-phase flow algorithms for complex geometries

When beach waves break and ships cruise through the ocean, bubbles form at the free-surface. CTR develops numerical algorithms to study this.

Volumetric heating of turbulence

Sharp temperature gradients develop near walls in turbulent flows. CTR investigates how particles absorb infrared light and deposit this energy.

Bubbly Turbulent Flows

When ocean waves break on a beach, aerated bubbles make turbulence visible to the human eye.

Tackling Turbulence with Supercomputers

By Parviz Moin and John Kim

Computers only recently became powerful enough to illuminate simple examples of this great classical problem. In some cases, they will let engineers control it.
