The development and assessment of an efficient parallelization method for the evaluation of reaction rates in combustion simulations is presented. Combustion simulations where the finite-rate chemistry model is employed ...

Supercritical fluids possess unique properties that makes them relevant in various scientific and engineering applications. However, the experimental investigation of these fluids is challenging due to the high pressures ...

In turbomachines, rotors and stators differ by the rotation of the former. Hence, half of each stage is directly influenced by rotation effects. The influence of rotation on the flow structure and its impact on the performance ...

This work presents the investigation of a solution to accelerate computations of high-pressure transcritical fluids at low-Mach number regimes based on the artificial compressibility method. The highly adaptable nature of ...

In the context of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) solely for the momentum transport equation there may be found several models for the turbulent subgrid fluxes. Furthermore, among those relying on the eddy diffusivity approach, ...

Numerical methods for fluxes with strong density variations but with speeds much lower than the sound speed, known as low Mach flows, present some particularities with respect to incompressible formulations. Despite ...

Unstructured meshes allow easily representing complex geometries and to refine in regions of interest without adding control volumes in unnecessary regions. However, numerical schemes used on unstructured grids have to ...

Linear cascades are commonly used as surrogate geometries when performing fundamental studies of turbomachinery blading. Several effects are not accounted for in linear cascades, such as the relative motion between blade ...

The near field jet of a self-igniting methane-air diffusion jet flame is studied by means of Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and a Flamelet/Progress-Variable (FPV) model to include detailed chemistry. Hence, all flow and ...
