Computational Mathematics Seminar Wednesday, November 30, 3-4pm Thackeray 704 Speaker: Ms. Iuliana Stanculescu Title: Optimal parameter selection for approximate deconvolution models of turbulence Abstract: We want to find the optimal parameters that minimizes the consistency error of approximate deconvolution models for time averaged fully developed homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Such analytical guidance on parameter selection is inherently intersting; it also helps two important questions of: How to adapt deconvolution procedures to data from turbulent velocity? and What is the increase in accuracy that results?
