The scientific areas are twofold, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) at various scales and High Perfomance Computing (HPC). Flows in equilibrium (macro-scale) will be looked at, focusing on turbulence modelling.

Considered as advanced turbulence modelling, Large-eddy simulation (LES) is a technique which relies on filtering the Navier-Stokes equations, that was first introduced by (Smagorinsky, 1963), and that can be seen as multi-scale . It has become much more popular recently because of the computing power increase, even if still rarely used by industry, for instance. Vast computing power is required, because modelling is only carried out at the sub-grid scale level. Another advanced turbulence modelling technique relying on the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, and which is able to catch anisotropy in the flows, is based on second order moment closure. The method used by this School will be the SSG model (Speziale, Sarkar and Gatski, 1991), and will be applied to turbomachinery.

The School will insist on both interlinked aspects, CFD and HPC, showing that advanced multiscale modelling (turbulence for 3-D problems) is impossible without HPC. The path for developing/optimising a a massively parallel CFD+HPC software will also be introduced (Fournier et al., 2011).
