Computational Turbulence and Aerodynamics Research Laboratory

Thailand's Leading Laboratory on Computational Technologies

About Our Computational Turbulence Lab

The Computational Turbulence and Aerodynamics Research (CTAR) Lab utilises high-fidelity numerical simulations, including Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and Large-Eddy Simulation (LES), to investigate multiscale, unsteady flow problems. Our research covers a wide range of topics, from fundamental turbulent flows to practical applications in industries such as air pollution control, gas turbines, and aircraft engines. We study flows across various regimes, including low-speed and high-speed flows, aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, and multiphase flows. Additionally, we focus on developing robust, highly parallel computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes capable of handling multi-species flows in complex geometries. To deepen our understanding of physical phenomena in engineering systems through a ‘virtual wind tunnel’, the CTAR Lab is equipped with its own CPU and GPU clusters for conducting large-scale simulations.
