  LTCS and LAST jointly held the Sixth Summer Workshop on Advanced Simulation of Turbulence

On 12 and 13August, 2017, the Laboratory for Advanced Simulation of Turbulence of Tsinghua University (LAST) and the State Key Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex Systems of Peking University (LTCS) held the Sixth Summer Workshop on Advanced Simulation of Turbulence at the William Mong Hall of the School of Aerospace Engineering of Tsinghua University. The workshop invited a number of local and international experts. They lectures on theories, and numerical simulation of turbulence, as well as the progress of experimental study. More than 200 students from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, and other universities and research institutes attended the workshop.

Audience of the workshop

Prof. Xiahui Peng, Director of the CFD and Turbulence Simulation Laboratory of FOI and Professor of KTH, Prof. Hong Luo of the North Carolina State University, Prof. Hui Hu of the University of Iowa State, Dr. Shaoping Li, Director of ANSYS Reactive Flow, Prof. Guowei He of the Institute of Mechanics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Profs. Song Fu and Yuxin Ren of Tsinghua University, Profs. Yipeng Shi, Jianjun Tao and Yue Yang of Peking University, and other Professors gave lectures.

 In view of the weakness of the large-eddy simulation, Prof. Yipeng Shi introduced an original constraint method of large eddy simulation proposed by LTCS, and a series of successful applications of the new method in the simulation of the C919 aircraft.

Prof. Yue Yang introduced the research of the original Lagrangian-based vortex identification and vortex dynamics, including the structural evolution of the vortex-surface field. He showed a series of successful applications of this new method in transition processes of boundary-layer, channel, and highly symmetric flows.

By listening to lectures and discussing with experts and scholars, students not only learned the basic knowledge of numerical simulation of turbulence, but also learned the frontier research trends of turbulence simulation. The workshop has promoted the understanding of the frontier of turbulence research among students and young researchers, and it has laid a good foundation on future scientific research. At the mean time, the workshop also provides a good platform for the exchange of idea between scholars and students from different universities and institutes.
