Research projects of Stefan Heinz

 

Simulation Methods: Development of simulation methods for real turbulent flows: Continuous Eddy Simulation (CES)

- mathematically consistent (continuous variations of modeled & resolved modes)

- continuously reliable, stably applicable up to huge Reynolds numbers

- applicable to several basic problems (typical aerospace flows, wind energy mesoscale to microscale coupling)
