We propose a numerical approach based on the Lattice-Boltzmann (LBM) and Immersed Boundary (IB) methods to tackle the problem of the interaction of solids with an incompressible fluid flow, and its implementation on ...

Offshore floating platforms for wind turbines represent challenging concepts for designers trying to combine an optimal compromise between cost effectiveness and performance. Modelling of the hydrodynamic behaviour of the ...

We propose a numerical approach based on the Lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) for dealing with mesh refinement of Non-uniform Staggered Cartesian Grid. We explain, in detail, the strategy for mapping LBM over such geometries. ...

The main motivation of this work is the evaluation of the Unified Parallel C (UPC) model, for Boltzmann-fluid simulations. UPC is one of the current models in the so-called Partitioned Global Address Space paradigm. This ...

This article is a review of our work towards a parameter-free method for simulation of turbulent flow at high Reynolds numbers. In a series of papers we have developed a model for turbulent flow in the form of weak solutions ...
