Welcome to the website for the MacArt Reacting Turbulence Lab (MacRTL) in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame.
We seek to understand and model the complex interactions of turbulent flow with chemical heat release. We develop software for high-performance numerical simulations of complex flows and solver-coupled machine learning (ML), including direct numerical simulation (DNS), large-eddy simulation (LES) and Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations both with and without ML models. Our applications of interest span a range of engineering systems from gas turbines to hypersonic propulsion.
