Fundamentals & Methods
The ambitious goal to have carbon neutral power generation and propulsion systems in the next decades requires a deep understanding of the physical phenomena driving the conversion of chemical to mechanical energy. The studies conducted at ITV start from the development of numerical methods and algorithms for high performance computing, continue with the performance of high-fidelity predictive direct numerical simulations of turbulent multiphase reacting flows and the analysis of the databases created, and achieve the goal to discover new insights on the interactions between turbulence, phase transition and heat release.
