Turbulence

  1. Full-resolution model reproduces key MSRE flow and neutron data
    Full-resolution multiphysics simulation of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment couples neutronics with thermal-hydraulics to reproduce experimental behavior and reveal three-dimensional flow.
  2. Turbulent black hole coronae can produce observed X-ray spectra
    Simulations show turbulent black hole coronae generate two-temperature plasmas with extended nonthermal ion distributions while producing observed X-ray spectra.
  3. AIRWAKE CONTROL OF ONR TUMBLEHOME USING CVG
    Computational study validates passive airwake control on ONR Tumblehome using columnar vortex generators to reduce turbulence and flow recirculation over flight decks.
  4. DM Tau disk shows non-thermal line broadening
    Bayesian analysis of molecular line observations confirms nonthermal broadening of 0.4 sound speeds in the DM Tau protoplanetary disk, providing evidence for turbulence.
  5. Structure-preserving simulations show differing turbulence behavior
    Structure-preserving simulations of three magnetohydrodynamics models reveal divergent cascade mechanisms and vorticity dynamics despite shared Hamiltonian geometry.
  6. A CFD S S T k − ω − k θ − ε θ four parameter heat transfer turbulence model for the 19-pin fuel assembly in LBE cooled reactors
    Four-parameter turbulence model for predicting heat transfer in lead-bismuth cooled fast reactors, addressing nonlinear Prandtl number behavior in liquid metal coolants.
  7. Predictive gyrokinetic simulations matched TCV edge-plasma data
    Fully predictive gyrokinetic simulations of tokamak edge turbulence using Gkeyll validate against TCV experiments and reveal how negative triangularity enhances confinement through E×B flow shear.
