The website has good CFD Movie gallery of various simulations, which can be used for learning CFD.

The movies and pictures includes: Direct numerical simulation; Free-surface liquid dynamics 2D; Free-surface liquid dynamics 3D; Industrial applications.

The reseach group aims to use direct numerical simulations (DNS) and their mathematical analysis as a tool for turbulence research. Its long term goal concentrates around enlarging our understanding of turbulence and transition in physical terms (e.g. energy transport, coherent structures) and in mathematical terms (e.g. bifurcation scenarios, proper orthogonal decomposition, attractor structure). Ultimately it should lead to improved turbulence models for industrial simulation methods based on LES or Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes. Their first steps on the long and challenging road towards this goal have concentrated on two aspects: (i) the development of numerical methods for DNS; and (ii) the analysis of DNS data.
