Large Eddy Simulation News Today

A new book explores how fast processes can be better represented in atmospheric models to improve weather and climate prediction.

Modern Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation Software has been revolutionizing the engineering landscape and the field of design optimization since the 1980s.

Oak Ridge, TN — Oak Ridge National Laboratory has launched a new, more powerful computer system to support climate data research conducted by the [...]

It has been numerically demonstrated that the turbulence above the boundary is important to tropical cyclone intensification and rapid intensification, but the three-dimensional structures of the sub-grid-scale (SGS) eddy have not been revealed due to the lack of observational data. In this study, two numerical simulations of Super Typhoon Rammasun (2014) were conducted with the Advanced Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model by incorporating the large-eddy simulation (LES) technique, in whic...

22nd January 2021 10:56 am 22nd January 2021 10:56 am Researchers at Purdue University in the US have developed a modelling approach aiming to help design aircraft capable of handling extreme scenarios such as turbulence. Mechanical engineering professor Carlo Scalo and his research team use supercomputers to develop models that efficiently simulate vortex flow phenomena.
