- NekMesh: An open-source high-order mesh generation framework
DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4632754
We present NekMesh: an open-source mesh generation package which is designed to enable the generation of valid, high-quality curvilinear meshes of complex, three-dimensional geometries for performing high-order simulations. - Three-dimensional transition and forcecharacteristics of low-Reynolds-number flowspast a plunging airfoil
DOI: 10.1017/jfm.2023.735
The three-dimensional (3-D) transition of the leading-edge vortex (LEV) and the force characteristics of the plunging airfoil are investigated in the chord-based Strouhal number Stc range of 0.10 to 1.0 by means of experimental measurements, numerical simulations and linear stability analysis in order to understand the spanwise instabilities and the effects on the force. - Aeroacoustic Analysis of a Closely Installed Chevron Nozzle Jet using the High-Order Discontinuous Galerkin Method
DOI: 10.2514/6.2023-3831
Large Eddy Simulations (LES) in combination with the Ffowcs Williams - Hawkings method to study the influence of chevrons on the flow field as well as the noise produced by a closely installed M = 0.6 jet. - Nektar++ Workshop 2023
The 7th annual Nektar++ Workshop will bring together developers and users of all experiences to hear about new and future developments in the Nektar++ spectral/hp element framework and the exciting science and engineering being undertaken with the code. - Large Eddy Simulation of an Inverted Multi-element Wing in Ground Effect
DOI: 10.1007/s10494-023-00404-7
A computational study of a multi-element aerofoil containing unsteady analysis of force and surface pressure data. The mainplane and flap laminar separation are studied and the cross-spectral phase is presented for the lower frequency modes.
