Latest Projects Based on Turbulence Modeling

Turbulent flows have an infinite variety ranging from the flow of blood in our body to the atmospheric flows. Everyday life gives us an intuitive knowledge of turbulence in fluids; during air travel, one often hears the word turbulence generally associated with the fastening of seat-belts. The flow passing an obstacle or an airfoil creates turbulence in the boundary layer and develops a turbulent wake which will generally increase the drag exerted by the flow on the obstacle. The majority of atmospheric or oceanic currents cannot be predicted accurately and fall into the category of turbulent flows, even in the large planetary scales. Galaxies look strikingly like the eddies which are observed in turbulent flows such as the mixing layer, and are, in a way of speaking, the eddies of a turbulent universe. Numerous other examples of turbulent flows arise in aeronautics, hydraulics, nuclear and chemical engineering, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and internal geophysics. A clear understanding of this physical phenomena is one of the most essential and important problems of applied science.
