About Us

Welcome to TACL — Donzis’ research group!

The Turbulence and Advanced Computations Laboratory (TACL) conducts research on fundamental aspects of turbulent flows and turbulent mixing using state-of-the-art simulations at massive scales.

Turbulence is the most common state of fluid motion in natural and engineering systems. Some examples include mixing of heat, contaminants and momentum in atmosphere and oceans, mixing in engines, aerodynamics, propulsion, drag, the interstellar medium, etc. However its complexity has made the topic extraordinarily difficult. At TACL we develop and use the most advanced computational tools combined with theory and analysis to understand a number of aspects of turbulent flows. Some of them are:

  • Turbulent simulations at extreme scales
  •  Universality of turbulent flows
  • Intermittency and anomalous scaling
  • Turbulence mixing at low and high Schmidt numbers
  • Compressible turbulence
  • Shock-turbulence interactions
  • Turbulence in thermal non-equilibrium (TNE)
  • Electromagnetic wave propagation through turbulence and aero-optics

In all these areas we have generated very large databases of high-fidelity direct numerical simulations. You can check out our research and contact us to get access to datasets.
