Coarse Grained Simulation and Turbulent Mixing

Fernando F. Grinstein is a Scientist at the X-Computational Physics Division of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He is a world leader in issues of large eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent material mixing physics in complex multidisciplinary applications. He has led integration efforts of the pioneers of the ILES technique in workshops and special meetings worldwide, and in the first comprehensive description of the methodology, Implicit LES: Computing Turbulent Flow Dynamics, written with Len Margolin and William Rider.
