A new Eulerian Monte Carlo method for the joint velocity-scalar PDF equations in turbulent flows

In the field of turbulent combustion, Lagrangian Monte Carlo (LMC) methods (Pope, 85) have become an essential component of the probability density function (PDF) approach. LMC methods are based on stochastic particles, which evolve from prescribed stochastic ordinary differential equations (SODEs). They are used to compute the one-point...

Aircraft design loads due to non-stationary atmospheric turbulence patches

In this report it is assumed that atmospheric turbulence appears in patches and that within the patches the turbulence can be described.as a modulated Gaussian process. The patch lengths have a certain probability density function. Load exceedance curves and design loads for various aircraft models for this turbulence model are compared with...
