Abstract
I will present recent progress in numerical simulation of complex flows, and specifically for prediction of aircraft performance at the edges of flight envelope. It has been demonstrated that leveraging large eddy simulation (LES) technique with appropriate wall/subgrid-scale models and low dissipation numerical methods on modern computer architectures offers a tractable path towards meeting industry’s stringent accuracy and affordability requirements.
I will conclude with a recent example of predictive capabilities as well as physics-based modeling challenges in application of LES to aircraft icing.
About the Speaker
Parviz Moin is a professor of mechanical engineering, and the Founding Director of the Center for Turbulence Research (CTR) and the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME) at Stanford University. Professor Moin pioneered the use of Direct Numerical Simulation for the study of turbulence physics, and has written widely on the structure of turbulent shear flows. His current interests include numerical simulation of complex multi-physics turbulent flows for aerospace applications, physics and control of turbulent boundary layers, hypersonic flows, and aircraft icing.
professor Moin is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, AIAA, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is a member of the United States National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Sciences.
