Large-Eddy Simulation and Detached-Eddy Simulations: How to use an in-House Python source code

is given using Zoom, on 27, 29 June and 1 July, 2022, Sweden.

Most engineers and many researchers have limited knowledge ofwhat a LES/DES CFD code is doing. The object of this course is to close that knowledge gap. During the course, the participants will learn and work with an in-house LES/DES code called pyCALC-LES, written by the lecturer. It is a finite volume code written in Python. It includes two zero- equation SGS models (Smagorinsky and WALE) and two two- equation DES models (the PANS model and the k-omega DES model). The momentum and the pressure equations may be solved on the GPU if the computer has an Nvidia compatible graphics card (the GPU has been found to be more than four times faster for large grids).

The course includes lectures (12 hours) and workshops (12 hours) learning, using and installing new turbulence models in pyCALC-LES.

The number of participants is limited to 16.
