B. MEMBER MESSAGES 

FROM: Claire Savy, University of Leeds, 6/8/21
SUBJECT: Call for LIFD Visiting Fellows
Our LIFD Visiting Fellows scheme aims to attract distinguished scholars
from around the world to work with LIFD. Fellows are normally invited to
spend between one and three months at the University of Leeds; longer
stays may also be possible subject to funding. Fellows will have full
library access and IT support, office space in one of our Schools and
will be able to access suitable Laboratories and High Performance
Computing to support their research. We expect Fellows to deliver an
LIFD colloquia talk and we encourage visitors to proactively engage with
our postgraduate students and wider LIFD research activity during their
stay. CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICANTS WISHING TO VISIT BETWEEN 1/11/21 AND
31/7/22: 30/9/21

EVENTS:   

FROM: Lars Davidson, Flow Sim, 12/8/21
Subject: Large Eddy Simulation (LES), hybrid LES-RANS, Detached Eddy
Simulation (DES) and unsteady RANS. LES is suitable for bluff-body flows
or flows at low Reynolds numbers. To extend LES to cover industrial
flows at high Reynolds numbers, new approaches (hybrid LES-RANS, DES,
URANS, SAS, PANS, PITM) must be used. They are all based on a mix of LES
and RANS. The course will give an introduction to LES and these new
methods. LES, or any of the new approaches, is the first step when
performing accurate CAA (Computational Aero-Acoustics) The lectures will
be given on-line (Live) using Zoom. During the workshops, the
participants will get supervision in a joint Zoom room which will enable
participants to learn from each others questions. Part of the
supervision may also be given in individual break-out Zoom rooms.
Lectures will be given in the mornings; in the afternoons there will be
workshops using Python (recommended), Matlab or Octave. The participants
must have a PC/Mac/Desktop with one of these software installed. In the
workshops, the participants will use Python/Matlab/Octave for analyzing
analyzing SGS models, SAS, PANS, DES and DDES. Scripts will be use for
generating isotropic and anistropic (non-isotropic) synthetic turbulent
fluctuations for inlet boundary conditions and embedded LES.
Event date: 22,24 and 26/11/21
