The internal combustion engine that powers the modern automobile has changed very little
from its initial design of some eighty years ago. Unlike many high tech advances, engine …

Advances in physical models, numerical methods, and computational power together have
brought large-eddy simulation (LES) to the point where it warrants serious consideration for …

The dynamics of the evolution of turbulence statistics depend on the structure of the
turbulence. For example, wavenumber anisotropy in homogeneous turbulence is known to …

A variable explicit/implicit characteristics-based advection scheme that is second-order
accurate in space and time has been developed recently for unstructured deforming meshes …

This title provides the fundamental bases for developing turbulence models on rational
grounds. The main different methods of approach are considered, ranging from statistical …

A key hurdle in turbulence modelling is the closure for the pressure–strain correlation.
Herein, the challenge stems from the fact that the non-local dynamics due to pressure …

Probability density function (PDF) models which are based on an exact representation of
rapidly distorting homogeneous turbulence are applied to a free shear flow, the temporal …

One-point turbulence models are important tools for engineering analysis. A good model
should have a viscoelastic character, predicting turbulent stresses proportional to the mean …

We consider the case of homogeneous turbulence in a conducting fluid that is exposed to a
uniform external magnetic field at low to moderate magnetic Reynolds numbers (by …

Intercomponent energy transfer (IET) is a direct consequence of the incompressibility-
preserving action of pressure. This action of pressure is inherently non-local, and …
