Fundamental theoretical and experimental research in fluid mechanics, mainly internal aerodynamics, transitional and turbulent shear flows, and computational fluid dynamics; some aspects of external and environmental aerodynamics.
Turbulence will be introduced as the typical state of real flowing viscous fluids (historical overview). Attributes of turbulence will be presented (diffusivity, deterministic chaos, fractal structure…). A mathematical model will be introduced and its basic properties will be shown including the Kolmogorov theory. Then a few phenomenological aspects will demonstrate the typical features of the phenomenon (stability, complexity…).
The Institute of Thermomechanics AS CR, v.v.i., Prague, the Czech Society for Mechanics and the ERCOFTAC Czech Pilot Centre will organize Colloquium FLUID DYNAMICS 2010 held on October 20 – 22, 2010. »»»
The highly accurate simulation of turbulent rotating flows within cavity is of interest for both engineering applications, such as designing rotational machinery, and fundamental research, as one of the simplest cases where the turbulent boundary layers are three-dimensional. Attempting to compute these flows using statistical approaches has had only partial success. »»»
Prof. Seifert will present two recent research projects conducted in Tel Aviv using active flow control. The first project describes taking airfoil separation control concept to flight while the second describes the application of the newly developed suction and oscillatory blowing actuator for aerodynamic drag reduction of large trucks. »»»
