​
The reacting flow and numerical methods group looks into the numerical simulation of turbulent reacting flows and multiphase flow (e.g. spray injection, flash boiling flow) , with a focus on the development of moment-based models (e.g. Conditional Source Term-Estimation) and novel computational methods for post-processing (e.g. CEMA and SPDMD). The fundamental nature of the research entails that the group can easily transfer the knowledge and skills to a wide range of engineering applications including but not limited to combustion engines (IC and aerospace), burner design, hydrogen safety, etc.
