Alternative fuels, natural gas, Large Eddy Simulation (LES), Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), supersonic gaseous fuel jets, multiphase flows, turbulence, acoustics, sprays, OpenFOAM, mixing, spectral methods, numerical methods, finite volume and finite difference methods, combustion chemistry, flamelet generated manifolds (FGM)
We are currently much focusing our research towards combustion simulations using LES and alternative fuels. The research is motivated by e.g. the stringent ship exhaust regulations which, within the next few years, will create immense changes to the fuel paradigm in the Baltic sea traffic. The research interest could be further described with the words: Natural gas injection, methane combustion, natural gas technologies, injection strategies, flow control, alternative fuels, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of gas jets and sprays, LES of combustion, Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), supersonic gaseous fuel jets, multiphase flows, turbulence, acoustics, sprays, OpenFOAM, mixing, spectral methods, numerical methods, finite volume and finite difference methods, combustion chemistry, flamelet generated manifolds (FGM).
Courses: A Matlab course on large-eddy simulation (LES) and direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent flows will be lectured on week 6. The course is based on a solver written by me within the pseudo-spectral framework. Specific attention is put on learning basic concepts of turbulence using 2d model problems related to shear layers, high-fidelity numerical methods used in LES and DNS. The lectures will be held in room 117 in building K3 starting on Monday February 2ndth 2015 at 9 a.m.
