Group Stoter
Nearly all fluids that flow at engineering relevant scales behave chaotically; they are turbulent. Creating digital twins of such engineering systems thus requires tools that can predict the turbulent nature of the flow. In this group we challenge ourselves with the development of the mathematics, computational methods and software that is needed to accurately simulate turbulent flows at affordable computational cost.
"All models are wrong, but some are useful"聽- G. Box
To facilitate engineering design and scientific study, simulation software must balance accuracy and computational cost. Turbulent flow is so complex that the trade-off currently only permits either hugely expensive simulations (i.e., those performed on super computers), or simulations with significant difficiencies in the predictive quality.
By adopting novel computational methods and reduced order models we work towards shifting this balance in the direction of accurate simulations with affordable computational expense.
Album of computational fluid motion
Welcome to this ongoing effort towards developing a CFD counterpart of the classic 1982 book An Album of Fluid Motion by professor Milton van Dyke. The original book comprises 278 photographs of fluid flow experiments, which professor van Dyke collected from colleagues around the world. In much the same way, the contributions to this website are made by many CFD enhusiasts. Care to contribute? Check out the page, or let me know.
