Course Overview

9 Sept. - 8 Oct. 2010
Introduction to the Lattice Boltzmann Method Course code - 3E100
In spite of its fairly recent development, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has quickly become a popular and yet powerful tool in fluid dynamics and acoustics. Differently from the traditional methods based on the Continuum Theory (e.g. finite volumes, finite elements, finite differences, to name but a few), LBM captures the temporal behaviour of a fluid by means of two basic operations on the particle level, namely the propagation and collision of the fluid particles. Some advantages of LBM include its straightforward approach to complex boundary conditions and the facility to be computed in parallel processing schemes. Moreover, LBM is capable of resolving, in a single computational structure, phenomena involving very different scales, such as the interaction between flow and acoustic fields. This seminar will present an introduction to the LBM theory, discuss essential advantages and limitations of the method, and focus on practical applications involving fluid dynamics and acoustic problems. Based on that, the seminar will be structured according to the following schedule:

Combustion
Prof.dr. LPH de Goey, Prof.dr. DJEM Roekaerts
Place : TUE or TUD
The objective of this 4-day course is to bring the participants to the forefront of modern computational and experimental methods for premixed and non-premixed gaseous combustion processes by giving insight into the underlying physical/chemical principles and mathematical descriptions. Starting from the governing equations for chemically reacting flows, state-of-the-art models will be derived for laminar and turbulent flames, by means of which their physical and chemical behaviour will be analysed. Computational issues for modelling these systems numerically will be discussed as well. A further focus is on the use of laser-diagnostic methods, such as LIF, Raman, CARS, and PIV, to measure local species concentrations, temperatures and flow velocities in high-temperature, chemically reacting flow systems. Practical applications will be studied for a number of examples, such as gas turbines and furnaces. The theory is tested and illustrated with simple experimental exercises in the laboratory and with numerical exercises using a code for modelling simple 1D-flame structures. The course is intended for graduate scientists and engineers, equipped with a firm basic knowledge in fluid mechanics, heat transport and combustion science, who have started to specialise in the field of combustion.

Particle technology (a JMBC+OSPT course)
Prof.dr. S Luding (UT), Ruud van Ommen (TUD), Hans Kuipers (TU/e)
Place : UT, Drienerburght Hotel
Short Description
Particles can be found as granular materials in our kitchen (coffee/starch/sugar), in chemical and pharmaceutical industry (tablets/medicine/powders) in nature (sand/soil), or as solids with microstructure (ceramics/composites/metal-alloys). They are everywhere in nature and constitute over 75% of all raw material feedstock to industry – providing many challenges for innovation and fundamental science. The discrete, particulate nature of these materials leads to usually unwanted and sometimes fatal phenomena. Particle technology is the branch of science and engineering that deals with the production, handling, modification, and use of a various particulate materials (wet or dry) in sizes ranging from nanometers to centimeters; its scope and applications span a range of industries including chemical, mechanical, petrochemical, agricultural, food, pharmaceuticals, mineral processing, advanced materials, energy, and the environment. The purpose of this course is to give a broad overview of most fields and applications of particle technology. Due to the broad range of particle technology, only few issues can be discussed in depth and addressed by exercises. During the course, reference will be made to various more specialized courses that are given in the near future. Participants can be PhD students in the fields of fluid-mechanics and –physics, process-technology, chemical and mechanical engineering as well as geo-sciences, informatics or mathematics. However, also other researchers who want to gain a broader overview and industrial researchers and technicians will find this course interesting. A Poster-Viewing will be arranged on Wednesday (13.10.) in the lunch-break, so all participants are invited to bring posters of their work.

CFD 2
Prof.dr.ir. C Vuik (TUD)
Location: TU Delft
http://ta.twi.tudelft.nl/users/vuik/burgers/burg.html
Teachers: Dr.ir. F.J. Vermolen, Prof.dr.ir. C. Vuik
Subjects: Finite element methods for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and iterative solution methods.
1. Finite element methods for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations
A short introduction to the finite element method is given. The following fluid flow applications are used: Poisson equation, convection-diffusion equation and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Subjects studied in more detail are: (streamline) upwind methods, problems originating from the incompressibility condition, and the linearisation of convective terms in the Navier-Stokes equations. Some remarks are given on time-dependent problems.
2. Iterative solution methods.
The solution of systems of linear equations. The main part of the course is devoted to modern iterative methods. Furthermore the following related topics are considered: direct and iterative methods for (sparse) linear systems, iterative methods to compute eigenvalues of matrices,implementation of these methods on vector- and parallel computers. As applications systems are used which originate from fluid flow problems. To illustrate the theory, practical work is done in the afternoons using MATLAB and the finite element package SEPRAN.
Preliminaries: A basic course in numerical analysis, partial differential equations and linear algebra.

PIV Delft
Dr.ir. C Poelma and prof.dr.ir. J Westerweel
Particle Image Velocimetry has rapidly become the standard method for measuring fluid velocities in both fundamental and applied research.In October 2009, a one-week course dedicated entirely to PIV was taught at the Delft University of Technology. We plan to teach this course again in the fall of 2011. During the course, the fundamentals of the technique will be taught, including applications in particular fields: microfluidics, turbulence, multiphase flows and aerodynamics. Next to lectures, there will be a number of practical sessions where the participants can practice their skills and see some state-of-art facilities (e.g. tomographic PIV, high-speed PIV). The course is primarily targeted at PhD students from the J.M. Burgerscentrum, who will get priority when registering: due to limitations on the available space in the practical sessions, the maximum number of participants is 35. Others interested (postdocs, faculty, researchers from institutes and industry) are welcome to apply as well, but priority is given to JMBC PhD students. Apart from a basic understanding of fluid mechanics, there is no prerequisite knowledge. Topics: components (tracers, lasers, optics, cameras), fundamentals (cross-correlation, image density, pair loss), stereoscopic PIV, multiphase flows, laser-induced fluorescence, microfluidics, high-speed systems, volumetric methods (3D-PTV, tomographic PIV, holographic PIV), advanced processing methods (multigrid methods, deforming windows, correlation averaging), post-processing (validation, estimation of vorticity, detecting coherent structures), design & optimization of PIV systems, practical sessions. NB: this course does not replace the yearly course at DLR (Göttingen). For up-to-date info, check www.ahd.tudelft.nl/piv
