Transition to turbulence is one of the unsolved problems in fluid dynamics. Techniques
such as Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) and Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are able
to compute transitional flows but are, up to now, very time consuming and, hence, limited
to academic applications. Stability theory is also a very active research field whereas...

Large eddy simulation (LES) and Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes simulation (RANS) of leakage flow in straight-through and stepped labyrinth seals were performed in order to compare their performances in sealing the secondary flow passage of the gas turbine based on the respective discharge coefficients. The results indicate a 17.8% higher leakage p...
The present work investigates the modeling of turbulent heat transfer in flows where radiative and convective heat transfer are coupled. In high temperature radiatively participating flows, radiation is the most relevant heat transfer mechanism and, due to its non-locality, it causes counter intuitive interactions with the turbulent temperature fie...
Vortex Generators (VGs) are applied before the expected region of separation of the boundary layer in order to delay or remove the flow separation. Although their height is usually similar to that of the boundary layer, in some applications, lower VGs are used, Sub-Boundary Layer Vortex Generators (SBVGs), since this reduces the drag coefficient. N...
Aerodynamic performances may be optimised by the appropriate tuning of Active Flow Control (AFC) parameters. For the first time, we couple Genetic Algorithms (GA) with an unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver using the Spalart-Allmaras (SA) turbulence model to maximise lift and aerodynamic efficiency of an airfoil in stall conditio...

This paper focusses on three main numerical methods, i.e., the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS), Large Eddy Simulation (LES), and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) methods. The formulation and variation of different RANS methods are evaluated. The advantage and disadvantage of RANS models to characterize turbulent flows are discussed. The pro...
