Computational Energy Systems
This group is a subgroup of Scientific Computing and Control Theory (MAC2)
Coordinator of this subgroup: Barry Koren
We develop computational methods, directed towards engineering problems, currently problems from the wind-energy and controlled-fusion-energy sector: simulation and control methods for wind-farm aerodynamics and tokamak-magnetohydrodynamics, respectively.
Active co-operation exists with applied research institutes.
Specific ongoing projects are:
1. Development of a computational method for the accurate and efficient simulation of turbulent wind-farm wakes (with PhD-student Benjamin Sanderse, funded by Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands)
2. Investigation of edge localized modes in tokamak plasmas, by further
development and application of computational tools (with PhD-student Willem Haverkort, funded by FOM Institute for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen)
3. Magnetohydrodynamics modelling of edge localized modes, control and mitigation (with PhD-student Bram van Es, funded by FOM Institute for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen)
4. Development of an immersed boundary method for convection problems
(with PhD-student Yunus Hassen, funded by Delft Centre for Computational
Science and Engineering)
