Informal International Partners

• Collaboration with Alireza Mazaheri, from NASA Langley Research Center on the first order formulation of the compressible Navier-Stokes system (2-month leave of V. Perrier at National Institute of Aerospace, Hampton, VA).

• Collaboration with E. Dick (University of Ghent, Belgium) and Y. Moguen (UPPA) on the determination of the best splitting of variables for handling low Mach flows with a pressure-energy based coupling. [PB]

• Collaboration with A. Beketaeva and A. Naïmanova (Institute of Mathematics, Almaty, Kazakhstan) related to the simulations of a supersonic jet in crossflow configuration. Contacts were also made with Axel Vincent from Onera Palaiseau in order to have access to recent experimental data on supersonic combustion.The low-Mach preconditioning of an in-house ENO based compressible flow solver was also adressed. [PB] (10-day stay in Almaty).

• Collaboration with P. Correia (University of Evora, Portugal) related to the development of enhanced boundary conditions for the simulations of Mach zero flows with the artificial compressibility method. [PB] (5-day stay in Evora).

• Collaboration with S. Lardeau (Siemens Industry Software Computational Dynamics, Nuremberg, Germany) on the EB-RSM model and hybrid RANS/LES model for industrial applications. [RM]
