I'm working with an in-house finite volume codes (CALC-BFC, CALC-LES), which have been developed within the group. Turbulence modelling for fluid flow and heat transfer is the focus of my research. Currently, a larger part of the research is concentrated on Large Eddy Simulations (LES). Lately, I have been focused on hybrid LES/RANS, an approach to make it possible to use LES for wall-bounded flows at high Reynolds numbers.     Extended visits SPRING 1988: working six weeks at INRS, Nancy, France, on numerical simulation of air movements in enclosures.   SEP. 1989 - JUNE 1991: working at CERFACS, Toulouse, France, on simulation and modelling of flow around airfoils and transonic flow in channels.   SPRING 1992:working three weeks at CERFACS, Toulouse, France, on prediction and modelling of flow around airfoils.   AUTUMN 1993: working three months at CRS4, Cagliari, Italy, on turbulence modelling and development of unstructured finite volume methods.   AUTUMN 1995: working six months at AUC, Aalborg, Denmark as visiting professor. My work there was concentrated on Large Eddy Simulationsof recirculating flow, and unstructured methods.   AUTUMN 1997: working six months at AUC, Aalborg, Denmark as visiting professor. My work there was concentrated on Large Eddy Simulations of recirculating flow behind a backward-facing step. We studied the ability of LES to reproduce low-Re number effects. The Reynolds number was varied between 200 (laminar) and 5000 (fully turbulent).   AUTUMN 1999: working four months at AUC, Aalborg, Denmark as visiting VELUX professor. I worked on low-Re number flow in a ventilated room. We were able to predict the transitional flow -- including both laminar and turbulent regions -- using LES. This flow cannot be predicted using traditional RANS.       Research areas/papers   Research projects   All papers chronologically   Theses (PhD and Lic. of Engineering) where I have been supervisor     This page should be part of a frames system at www.tfd.chalmers.se/~lada/.   by Webmaster: Inga-Lena Ljungström ilj/../flowsim.se
