Turbulence, Vortices and Flow Stability

Updated October 28, 2026
Posted October 28, 2026

We study how laminar flows become unstable and how turbulence is generated and sustained. Our tools range from direct numerical simulation on GPU clusters and global linear stability analysis to laboratory measurements of vortices and data-driven modal decompositions.

Topics

  • Generation of turbulence through vortex collisions and cascades of instabilities
  • Rotating and thermal convection
  • Global stability of wakes, lifting-body vortex systems and turbomachinery blade rows
  • Experimental characterisation of wingtip and trailing vortices
  • Aeroacoustics and hydrodynamics of flue-like wind instruments
