New paper. In our recent paper, https://rdcu.be/es430 which is published in the Journal Flow, Turbulence and Combustion we present numerical results for natural convection in pools with evaporation across the free surface and at the hard turbulence regime.

Research Activities
The research activities of our group lie primarily on the fields of Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics with particular emphasis on the fundamentals of multi-phase flows, reacting flows and electrohydrodynamics.. Our activities cover: i) development of mathematical models for the flows of interest, ii) algorithm development for these models and software verification & validation, and iii) detailed numerical studies and simulations via high performance computing.
With regard to multi-phase flows, our current research activities focus on i) fluid-saturated granular materials and granular suspensions with application to sediment transport in coastal and fluvial environments, ii) flows through porous media with application to heat-transfer enhancement, iii) liquid-vapor systems with applications to nuclear-reactor safety, and iv) electric charge accumulation during the pneumatic conveying of powders and in flows of liquid dielectrics.
With regard to reacting flows, we are currently pursuing research on both subsonic and supersonic combustion. Examples include spray combustion, detonations, and frontal polymerization.
Funding of these ongoing projects is provided by the European Commission, the National Fund of Scientific Research of Belgium (FNRS), the Belgian Federal Public Service Economy and the private sector.
