Computational Fluid Dynamics

UP

In our methodical developments, we aim at

• discontinuous Galerkin methods and
• extended and cut finite element methods (XFEM and CutFEM).

These methods are applied in the following contexts:

• incompressible flows,
• turbulent flows,
• multiphase flows,
• fluid-structure interaction,
• thermo-fluid-structure interaction,
• transport equations, and
• variable-density flow.

The methods developed in our research on computational fluid dynamics are used for a variety of applications such as:

• biofilms,
• cavitation,
• chemically-reacting flows,
• combustion,
• elasto-flexible morphing wing,
• electrochemical power sources (batteries, fuel cells),
• electrodeposition of metals,
• electroforming of rocket combustion chambers, and
• respiratory system.
