Paper gives a review of the most important results of turbulence research
achieved by the Laboratory for Thermal Engineering and Energy. Paper
presents detailed overview of the history of the scientific research
provided in the laboratory, from the beginning in the mid-60s to today,
pointing out the main reasons initiating the investigations in this field.
After the first period, which was mainly devoted to the research of the
structure of the turbulence, since the beginning of the 80s, research is
mainly oriented to the flows at high temperatures including chemical
reactions and to the development and improvement of differential
mathematical models as a modern and very efficient tool in the technological
development. This research significantly contributed to the development of
pulverized coal burners, plasma-chemical reactors, and optimization of
pulverized coal fired boilers operating parameters and prediction of the
greenhouse gases emissions. Most recent period includes experimental and
numerical studies of the coherent structures in turbulent fluid jets,
mathematical modeling of various turbulent thermal flow processes including
two-phase turbulent flow in the multiphase heat exchangers and mathematical
modeling of the atmospheric boundary layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
