Calibration of Large Eddy Simulation parameters using Approximate Bayesian Computation
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10-20)
Master thesis
Open Access
Covenantee: University of Colorado BoulderApproximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) method is used to estimate posterior distributions of model parameters in subgrid-scale (SGS) closures for large eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent flows. The ABC approach avoids the ... -

Investigation of a novel numerical scheme for high-pressure supercritical fluids turbulence
(2022)
Research report
Open AccessHigh-pressure supercritical turbulence simulations are strongly susceptible to numerical instabilities. The multi-scale nature of the flow, in conjunction with the nonlinear thermodynamics and the strong density gradients ... -
Modeling of the trajectory of ice thrown from a wind turbine
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2023-10-26)
Master thesis
Open Access
Covenantee: Lunds universitetThere is a growing number of wind turbines installed in cold temperature zones as a result of the restricted space for new construction. Due to ice deposition on the turbine blades, the increasing installation of wind ... -

(Springer, 2024-07-04)
Article
Open AccessLarge eddy simulations (LES) on the flow past the 30P30N three-element high-lift wing at a moderate Reynolds number Rec = 750, 000 and three different angles of attack α = 5, 9 and 23° are conducted. The main focus is on ... -
On the symmetry-preserving regularization model on complex flows using unstructured grids
(2010)
Conference report
Open AccessTraditionally turbulence modeling of industrial flows in complex geometries have been solved using RANS models and unstructured meshes based solvers. The lack of precision of RANS models in these situations and the increase ... -
Parameter-free symmetry-preserving regularization modeling of a turbulent differentially heated cavity
(2010-06-23)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policySince direct numerical simulations of buoyancy driven flows cannot be computed at high Rayleigh numbers, a dynamically less complex mathematical formulation is sought. In the quest for such a formulation, we consider ... -
