The Center for Turbulence Research (CTR) brings engineers, physicists and computational scientists under one roof to unlock the secrets of turbulence and develop physics based models and predictive tools for multi-scale engineering analysis.

Tackling Turbulence with Supercomputers

By Parviz Moin and John Kim  

"Computers only recently became powerful enough to illuminate simple examples of this great classical problem. In some cases, they will let engineers control it."
