Modeling air pollutant transport and dispersion in urban environments is especially challenging due to complex ground topography. In this study, we describe a large eddy simulation (LES) tool including a new dynamic subgrid closure and boundary treatment t ...
A simple phenomenological numerical model of a binary granular mixture is developed and investigated numerically. We attempt to model a recently reported experimental system where a horizontally vibrated binary monolayer was found to exhibit a transition f ...
The subject of this thesis is the numerical simulation of viscous free-surface flows in naval engineering applications. State-of-the-art numerical methods based on the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations are used to predict the flow around different cl ...
An important challenge in large-eddy simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer is the specification of the subgrid-scale (SGS) model coefficient(s) and, in particular, how to account for factors such as position in the flow, grid/filter scale and atmos ...
A simulation of a diurnal cycle of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow over a homogeneous terrain is performed using large-eddy simulation (LES) with the Lagrangian scale-dependent dynamic subgrid-scale model. The surface boundary condition is derived fr ...
In large-eddy simulations of atmospheric boundary layer turbulence, the lumped coefficient in the eddy-diffusion subgrid-scale (SGS) model is known to depend on scale for the case of inert scalars. This scale dependence is predominant near the surface. In ...
The accuracy of large-eddy simulations (LESs) of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over complex terrain relies on the ability of the subgrid-scale (SGS) models to capture the effect of subgrid turbulent fluxes on the resolved fields of velocity and scal ...
In large-eddy simulations (LESs) of atmospheric reacting flows, homogeneous and instantaneous mixing of reactants within a grid-cell is usually assumed. However, highly reactive species are often segregated or pre-mixed at small scales. In this paper, we p ...
The application of Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier- Stokes (RANS) equations to the design of sailing yachts is becoming more commonplace, particularly for the America's Cup. Drawing on the experience of the Ec ...
A numerical model is presented for the simulation of complex fluid flows with free surfaces in three space dimensions. The model described in Maronnier et al. (J. Comput. Phys. 1999; 155(2):439) is extended to three dimensional situations. The mathematical ...
