UK Turbulence Consortium

一个扩展的高端计算（HEC）财团提出了调查的基本方面的湍流问题，使用数值模拟。拟议中的英国湍流联盟（UKTC）将确保英国在湍流研究领域的全球声誉得到维护。该提案中的案例包括典型和复杂几何形状中的过渡和充分发展的湍流，以及与广泛的工程、环境/地球物理和生物应用相关的关于湍流-粒子相互作用的新工作包。该联合会将协调、加强和统一其参与者的研究工作，并将其专门知识和研究结果传达给国家和国际受众。开展科学工作的大部分工作人员资源已经到位，由EPSRC或其他来源供资，在所有情况下，项目都有合格的可用工作人员来完成。此应用程序适用于：（a）港灯的核心时间分配，使联合体成员能够进行世界领先质量的模拟，（B）STFC达雷斯伯里实验室和南安普顿大学的专职人员，负责软件开发项目，这些项目将开辟新的研究领域，并确保港灯的资源得到有效利用，关键项目取得进展，（c）定期管理会议和国际访客的差旅费和生活费，以及（e）支持年度进展审查，包括两个扩大研讨会，邀请其他港灯财团和英国湍流界的成员参加。软件开发项目对于保持UKTC在湍流研究方面的全球领导地位以及提供尖端的HEC应用软件至关重要，这些应用软件将为下一个国家HEC服务ARCHER提供国际领先的科学研究。

An expanded high-end-computing (HEC) consortium is proposed to investigate fundamental aspects of the turbulence problem using numerical simulations. The proposed UK Turbulence Consortium (UKTC) will ensure that the UK's worldwide reputation of being at the forefront of turbulence research is maintained. Cases in this proposal include transitional and fully developed turbulent flows in canonical and complex geometries and a new work package on turbulence-particle interactions, with relevance to a wide range of engineering, environmental/geophysical and biological applications. The consortium will serve to coordinate, augment and unify the research efforts of its participants, and to communicate its expertise and findings to a national and international audience. Most of the staff resource to carry out the scientific work is already in place, funded by EPSRC or other sources, and in all cases the projects have qualified and available staff in place to complete them. This application is for: (a) a core allocation of HEC time to enable consortium members to carry out simulations of world-leading quality, (b) dedicated staff at STFC Daresbury Laboratory and the University of Southampton for software development projects that will open up new research areas and to ensure efficient use of HEC resources and progress on key projects, (c) travel and subsistence for regular management meetings and international visitors, and (e) support for annual progress reviews, including two expanded workshops to which members of other HEC consortia and the wider UK turbulence community will be invited. The software development projects are essential to maintain the UKTC's worldwide leadership in turbulence research and to provide cutting-edge HEC application software that will deliver internationally leading scientific research on the next national HEC service ARCHER.
