Carlo Scalo, assistant professor of mechanical engineering (front), and his Compressible Flow and Acoustics Lab team received a $360,000 award from the Army Research Office Young Investigator Program.
The grant is to carry out fundamental studies of topologically complex vortical flows by relying on a novel turbulence modeling technique called Coherent-vorticity Preserving Large-Eddy Simulation (CvP-LES).
Jean-Baptiste Chapelier, postdoctoral scholar, is the lead author on a paper describing the CvPLES technique. Zongxin Yu, a doctoral student, will be using this technique to investigate complex vortex dynamics, starting with trefoil knotted vortices.
