Center for Turbulence Research (CTR) Summer Program
Abstract
The seventeenth biennial Summer Program of the Center for Turbulence Research was held from June 24 to July 20, 2018. CTR hosted seventy-four participants from eight countries, including twenty-six U.S. institutions. Thirty-eight CTR staff members, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty, worked alongside the participants and contributed to thirty-six projects spearheaded during the Summer Program. The participants were selected on the basis of quality of their research proposals and their synergy with current scientific interests of CTR. The role of CTR continues to be that of providing a forum for the fundamental study of multi-physics turbulent flows for engineering analysis. The Proceedings of the 2018 Summer Program contains thirty-six reports, which are divided into five groups: Multi-phase Flows, Numerical Methods, Multi-physics and Data-driven Studies, Wall Turbulence, and Combustion. Preceding each group of papers is a technical overview that summarizes the main technical accomplishments. Research activities in the group of multi-phase flows focused on analysis and modeling of dispersed particle-laden turbulence and two-phase turbulent flows, with particular emphasis on multi-physics aspects. In the area of particle-laden turbulence, the problems addressed by this group included the dispersion of particles in electrified and rotating flows, the interaction of particles with shock waves, and the deposition of sand grains on turbine blades. In the area of two-phase flows, the activities encompassed the analysis and subgrid-scale (SGS) modeling of interactions of interfaces with turbulence, and the mesoscale description of turbulent flows in porous media.
