A sinthetic list of active tasks (Feb 2004), from a presentation at Workshop for Italian DNS-LES High Performance Computing at ICTP in Trieste.

Another presentation at the Imperial College, London (Sept 2004).



Consolidated
Riblets
My first (experimental) project focused on this technique for turbulent drag reduction.

Oscillanting wall
Turbulent friction is known to decrease if the wall is made to oscillate spanwise!

DNS and parallel computing
Development of a general and efficient, parallel computer code for the DNS of wall turbulence

Dilbert
A bunch of PC for parallel computing, designed and built specifically for the DNS of turbulence (and for the code mentioned before)

Parallel computing (HTC)
First experiments with parallel computing
Recent
Linear response of a turbulent channel flow
What, turbulence is linear?!?

Adjoint DNS 

Solution of the adjoint problem to the Navier-Stokes system. Important topic in turbulence control.

Turbulent annular pipe flow
Simple and basic flow, yet not studied with DNS hitherto
 
Oscillating wall
There is still much to do with this drag-reducing technique.

Oscillating (turbulent) boundary layer
A flat plate with harmonic oscillations. The laminar solution is the well-known Stokes solution. We are working out the turbulent regime...
 
Convection velocity in turbulent wall flows
The onvection velocity near the wall is very different from the local mean velocity!
