Abstract: |
Within the division of Applied Mechanics and Energy Conversion (TME), several research groups are active:
- Thermal and Fluids Engineering: modelling, numerical simulation and optimisation of thermal, fluid and kinetic transport phenomena;
- Energy and Environment: multi-energy system operation and planning, towards a clean, secure and efficient energy provision;
- Simulation of Thermal Systems: thermal systems in buildings, Waste-to-Energy;
- Turbulent Flow Simulation and Optimisation: wind energy, indoor ventilation, pollutant dispersion.
This last group focuses on the simulation, optimisation, and optimal control of turbulent flows and inter alia applies this research on flows in (offshore) wind farms. |
