Feasibility analysis of ensemble sensitivity computation in turbulent flows

Nisha Chandramoorthy, Pablo Fernandez, Chaitanya Talnikar +1

In chaotic systems, such as turbulent flows, the solutions to tangent and adjoint equations exhibit an unbounded growth in their norms. This behavior renders the instantaneous tang…

On the ability of discontinuous Galerkin methods to simulate under-resolved turbulent flows

Pablo Fernandez, Ngoc-Cuong Nguyen, Jaime Peraire

We investigate the ability of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods to simulate under-resolved turbulent flows in large-eddy simulation. The role of the Riemann solver and the subgri…

Toward a chaotic adjoint for LES

Patrick J. Blonigan, Pablo Fernandez, Scott M. Murman +3

Adjoint-based sensitivity analysis methods are powerful tools for engineers who use flow simulations for design. However, the conventional adjoint method breaks down for scale-reso…

Implicit large-eddy simulation of compressible flows using the Interior Embedded Discontinuous Galerkin method

Pablo Fernandez, Ngoc-Cuong Nguyen, Xevi Roca +1

We present a high-order implicit large-eddy simulation (ILES) approach for simulating transitional turbulent flows. The approach consists of an Interior Embedded Discontinuous Gale…
