Project

Simulation and modeling of turbulent flow and combustion

Project Description

The aim of the project is to study the effect of rotation and buoyancy on turbulent shear flows and turbulent mixing using DNS and to proceed the modeling work of the KTH-mechanics group. The aim is in particular to extend the recently developed Reynolds stress models and scalar flux model with the description of the effects of rotation and buoyancy on turbulence and turbulent mixing so that the models are applicable for a wider range of problems.
