Turbulence in (normal) fluids

Lecture - February 21, 2011 (Monday), 14:00-15:00
Doc. Ing. Václav Uruba, CSc.

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…).

Large-Eddy Simulation on Plume Dispersion within Regular Arrays of Cubic Buildings

Lecture - September 6, 2010 (Monday) at 14.30
Dr. Hiromasa Nakayama

Dr. Hiromasa Nakayama is a researcher in the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Ibaraki, Japan.

Abstract: There is a potential problem that hazardous and flammable materials are accidentally or intentionally released into the atmosphere, either within or close to populated urban areas. For the assessment of human health hazard from toxic substances, the existence of high concentration peaks in a plume should be considered.  »»» 

High-order LES benchmarking of confined rotor-stator flows

Lecture - May 25, 2010 (Tuesday) 14:00
Sébastien Poncet, Laboratoire M2P2, UMR 6181 CNRS – Aix-Marseille Université

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.  »»»

Fundamentals and Applications of Active Flow Control

Lecture - April 8, 2009 (Wednesday), 14:00
Prof. Avraham Seifert, University Tel Aviv

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.  »»»
