RESEARCH
Turbulence and Combustion in Energy Conversion Systems
About us
Main
research interests of the group focus on mathematical modeling,
numerical methods and software development and application for
simulation of complex flow, heat and mass transfer in energy conversion
systems. Predictions made with such models and codes offer great
potential for use in analysis and optimization of the processes with
respect to energy efficiency improvements and emission reduction.
Various fields of investigation are covered, such as: turbulence and
combustion modeling, modeling of thermal radiation, mathematical
modeling of two-phase turbulent flows with heat and mass transfer and
chemical reactions, development of 3D computer codes applied for clean
and efficient utilization of pulverized coal, problems in renewable
energy sources utilization, etc. The group encompasses a broad range of
activities, from fundamental research to application of numerical
methods in optimization of boiler furnaces and other energy conversion
systems.
