The literature indicates that a prismatic-core very high temperature reactor can experience
thermal stratification and hot spot issues in the lower plenum (LP). This research …

We present the coupling of a vortex particle-mesh method with immersed lifting lines. The
method relies on the Lagrangian discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations in …

Lagrangian potential flow methods are a promising alternative to mainstream wind turbine
aerodynamics tools such as blade element momentum methods and grid-based …

In aeronautics, the dynamics of helical vortices are of interest for many applications. For
instance, helicopter wakes exhibit a global transition to the Vortex Ring State (VRS) in steep …

This thesis is concerned with three-dimensional vortex dynamics, in particular the modelling
of vortex structures in an inviscid context. We are motivated by the open problem of …
