Turbulent reactive flows

Mass and Energy balance equations coupled to the Navier-Stokes equations in turbulent conditions, compressible flows. Favre Average. Equations closure problems.
Subscale modeling
Subscale modeling for the RANS approach, advantages and disadvantages, range of applications. Diagram of turbulent combustion regimes.
Case Study with ANSYS Fluent
Development of models with the commercial software ANSYS-Fluent (www.fluent.com). Training in the room with the tutor.

Lectures will be given in Italian, if the course will be attended by non-Italian students lectures will be given in English.
