Abstract
Recent advances in multiphysics simulation capabilities for high-order codes fluids codes will be presented in the context of the spectral element code nek5000. Specifically, algorithmic advances and examples from the simulation of reactive flows will be discussed in the context of asymptotic theory. In addition, some aspects of RANS approaches, specifically tailored for high-order methods, involving regularization based on near-wall asymptotic behavior, will be presented and analyzed.
About the Speaker
Prof. Ananias Tomboulides studied Mechanical Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He continued to earn his doctorate degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. He has worked as Senior Research Scientist at the Combustion Technology Laboratory of ETHZ in Switzerland and as Assistant Professor at the department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering of Boston University. He is currently Professor at the Laboratory of Applied Thermodynamics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. His research interests lie in the numerical simulation of reactive flows in combustion and fluid/thermal problems. He has expertise in large-scale computing and HPC and is in close collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory and ETH Zurich. He has served as Chairman of ERCOFTAC, the European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, since 2012. His research has been funded by a number of European, Swiss and US projects and he has organized or co-organized a number of international Conferences, workshops and Summer Schools.
