Parallel Performance

Large eddy simulations are computationally expensive. Apart from a fine mesh resolution a large number of timesteps is required to get significant results. This is due to the fact that not only does the simulation have to reach a statistically steady stat

Acknowledgments

My first thanks go to my supervisors Dr. Luca Mangani and Dr. Ernesto Casartelli for supporting me throughout this thesis and for giving me carte blanche on themes and procedure. I would also like to thank the many other professors who gave me the knowledge that I have today. Most notably, I’d like to thank Dr. Thomas Staubli and Dr. Andreas Haselbacher for their inspiration and their ability to motivate a passion for the subject matter, as well as Thomas Tresch for sparking my interest in fluid dynamics in the first place and for being a good friend. Further thanks go to Dr. Giulio Romanelli for the many fruitful discussions and his patience when answering my endless array of questions. I also thank my colleagues Oliver Ryan and Simon Roth for their company during my studies and for making the long evening hours much more interesting. I would like to express my gratitude to my parents Robert and Eva for the moral and financial support over the course of my entir
