Opis

"Katie Carr is a good person. She recycles. She's against racism. She's a good doctor, a good mom, a good wife....well, maybe not that last one, considering she's having an affair and has just requested a divorce via cell phone. But who could blame her? For years her husband's been selfish, sarcastic, and underemployed, writing the ""Angriest Man in Holloway"" column for their local paper. But now David's changed. He's become a good person, too-really good. He's found a spiritual leader. He has become kind, soft-spoken, and earnest. He's even got a homeless kid set up in the spare room. Katie isn't sure if this is a deeply-felt conversion, a brain tumor-or David's most brilliantly vicious manipulation yet. Because she's finding it more and more difficult to live with David-and with herself."

Recent experimental studies have demonstrated that active flow control (AFC) has a potential to enable significant advances in many engineering applications. Though demonstrated experimentally, unsteady separation flow control remains a challenge for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The main goal of this work was a computational study of the effects of boundary-layer forcing on the mean flow and turbulence using various methods for turbulent flow computations: Large-eddy simulation (LES), Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Detached-eddy Simulation (DES), aiming also at mutual comparison of their features and performance in complex flow situations. Predictive capability of various CFD methods were evaluated for the three representative complex separated flow configurations without flow control. A potential of the methods for unsteady flow computations: LES, DES and URANS was investigated by predicting the flow and turbulence field for the two experimentally investigated AFC configurations. The numerous simulations of the flow configurations pertinent to active flow control (AFC) have been carried out providing a picture of the current status of CFD in AFC applications.
