CONCHA Research team

Complex Flow Simulation Codes based on High-order and Adaptive methods

Team presentation

The objective of this project-team is to develop and validate numerical algorithms and computational software for inert and reactive fluid mechanics.

Research themes

  • Stabilized finite elements, discontinuous Galerkin methods.
  • Adaptive methods: h, hp, model adaptation.
  • Complex flows (turbulence, combustion, mixing).
  • Interaction with experiments, parameter estimation, optimization.
