Strategies for turbulence modelling and simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the many levels possible for the numerical prediction of a turbulent flow, the target being a complete airplane, turbine, or car, and their hope is to stimulate reflection, discussion, and planning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conditional moment closure for turbulent combustion

TL;DR: Conditional moment closure (CMC) as mentioned in this paper is a well-known method for the prediction of turbulent reacting flows, with particular emphasis on combustion, and has been used extensively in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Passive and Active Flow Control by Swimming Fishes and Mammals

TL;DR: The vortex wake shed by the tail differs between eel-like fishes and fishes with a discrete narrowing of the body in front of the tail, and three-dimensional effects may play a major role in determining wake structure in most fishes.
MonographDOI

Introduction to Parallel Computing

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive introduction to parallel computing is provided, discussing theoretical issues such as the fundamentals of concurrent processes, models of parallel and distributed computing, and metrics for evaluating and comparing parallel algorithms, as well as practical issues, including methods of designing and implementing shared-and distributed-memory programs, and standards for parallel program implementation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-Eddy Simulation: Current Capabilities, Recommended Practices, and Future Research

TL;DR: The use of large-eddy simulation (LES) methods for calculation of turbulent flows has increased substantially in recent years as discussed by the authors, and the availability of LES and hybrid Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS)/LES in general-purpose codes is discussed.
