Seminar: Current Status and the Future of CFD for Turbulent Jet Flows

Turbulent jet flows have been significant area of research for decades due to importance of aircraft engine performance, noise, and signature.  Turbulence models remains one of the key pacing technologies in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) – and this is especially true in calculation of jet flows.  In this presentation we discuss RANS and LES methods, examine applications to reference jet flows, and discuss CFD development needs.

About the Speaker

Nick Georgiadis has been a CFD researcher at NASA Glenn since 1990.  His B.S. and M.S. were obtained at the University of Akron and Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University.  He has worked primarily in the areas of CFD for propulsion flows, with particular emphasis in turbulence modeling, large eddy simulation, nozzle analysis and design, and scramjet propulsion system modeling.  He has published approximately 80 papers on these topics.  He has served on several NASA, DoD, and AIAA Committees.
