Objective
The unprecedented requirements set by the
dramatically evolving energy, environmental and climatic constraints
mean that industry needs new turbulent and vortical flow concepts for
new flow-technology solutions. The full potential and economic impact
of radically new industrial flow concepts can only be realised with a
step change (i) in the ways we generate and condition turbulent and
vortical flows and (ii) in our understanding of turbulent flow
dynamics and the consequent new predictive approaches.
Fractal/multiscale-generated turbulent and vortical flows are a new
family of flow concepts which I have recently pioneered and which
hold the following double promise:
(1) as the basis for a raft of conceptually new technological flow
solutions which can widely set entirely new industrial standards: this
proposal focuses on energy-efficient yet effective mixing devices;
low-power highly-enhanced heat exchangers; high-performance wings for
UAVs, cars, wind turbines; and realistic wind-field design
technologies for wind tunnel tests of tall structures such as
supertall skyscrapers and wind turbines.
(2) As the key new family of turbulent flows which will allow
hitherto impossible breakthroughs in our theory and modelling of fluid
turbulence.
I propose to realise this double promise by a combined
experimental-computational approach which will use cutting edge High
Performance Computing (HPC) and high-fidelity simulations based on a
new code which combines academic accuracy with industrial versatility
and which is specifically designed to perform very efficient massively
parallel computations on HPC systems. I will run these simulations in
tandem with a complementary wide range of wind tunnel, water channel
and other laboratory measurements in a two-way interaction between
laboratory and computer experiments which will ensure validations and
breadth of results.
