Green hydrogen for our future sustainable growth by Shigenori MITSUSHIMA12 JanHydrogen is expected to accelerate carbon neutralization, but it is not common understood the property and role of hydrogen in energy systems. I would like to talk general aspects for global warming and clarifies the reason why hydrogen is selected as energy carrier for sustainable energy system using renewable energies form both basic science and real energy system viewpoints.

Development of a non-overlapping domain decomposition method for problems with boundary layer by Hongru LI14 DecIn this talk an effective and novel near-wall domain decomposition approach with non-local interface boundary conditions is developed and tested in application to model equations that simulate high-Reynolds-number flow with a boundary layer. The approach is also compared with existing non-local near-wall domain decomposition approaches in the literature and is proven to be more efficient.Show more

Bursting on straight and curved vortex tubes by Lingbo JI (MIT)07 DecCommon vortical wake vortices as generated by aircraft, submarines, and flying and swimming animals often have non-trivial internal shapes and structures, and are subject to perturbations arising from the ambient or self-induced strain fields. In this study we first simulate straight vortex tubes endowed with core-size variations and study their long-time flow evolution.Show more

High order immersed interface methods for 2D and 3D simulations with moving boundaries by James GABBARD (MIT)06 DecHigh-order immersed methods are a class of PDE discretizations that simulate complex geometries on a background Cartesian grid while maintaining high-order accuracy in both space and time. These schemes are particularly useful for fluid simulations with moving or deforming geometries, for which the cost of maintaining a moving body-fitted mesh can become prohibitive.Show more
