NEUP CINR-17-13179: Implementation and Validation of Advanced Turbulence Modeling Methods for Liquid Metal Flow in Nek5000

The proposed collaborative effort will enhance functionality in Nek5000 via implementation and validation of state-of-the-art turbulence modeling techniques to improve predition of liquid metal flows. Specific methods to be investigated include: variable PrT and algebraic heat flux models (AHFM) for URANS simulation; partially-averaged Navier-Stokes (PANS) and dynamic hybrid RANS-LES (DHRL) for hybrid RANS-LES simulation; and variable PrT subgrid heat flux modeling for LES.
