The object of the course is to give the students a thorough knowledge and understanding of modern, advanced
turbulence models such as RSM and turbulence-resolving methods such as LES, DES, PANS, SAS etc (see below)
Course content
Reynolds stress models (RSM) will be discussed in some detail. The pressure-strain term is an important part in these models which must be modeled. Different modeling approaches for modeling this term will be discussed.
We will also discuss non-linear eddy-viscosity models. This type of models is often a good compromise between modeling accuracy and numerical stability.
Approximately half of the course will be devoted to turbulence-resolving methods such as
- LES (Large Eddy Simulations).
- <URANS (Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes)
- DES (Detached-Eddy Simulations)
- PANS (Partially-Averaged Navier-Stokes)
