Multi-Scale Modelling for Turbomachinery Flows Using High-Fidelity Computational Data
This website is dedicated to TSCALE – the EU Commission funded project under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship scheme.
The project concerns developing a multi-scale modelling methodology for turbomachinery flows using high-fidelity computational data.
Turbomachinery flows, such as those found in jet engines, feature complex interactions between stationary and rotating blades coupled with high freestream turbulence effects.
Standard modelling techniques that are typically employed in the design process of such components are often inadequate. This project aims to uncover a dynamic picture of turbomachinery unsteadiness to aid design and unlock the potential of higher fidelity design tools.
Its success relies on the three main pillars.
High Performance Computing
We make use of the fastest supercomputers (CINECA Leonardo) to run large scale turbomachinery simulations using custom in-house codes (3DNS, HiPSTAR).
Data driven analysis
We collect terabytes of simulation data and employ data-driven mathematical frameworks to decompose turbomachinery flow fields into constituent dynamics.
Physics discovery
We process that data to extract physical understanding embedded in the vast databases and translate them into simple tangible models.
