Events
As member state of ESA, Romania has now its dedicated place on the ESA portal.
During the training session of the Geospace project at the beginning of February 2012, the ASRC experts introduced to the participants the 4.0 version of the LEOWorks, as one of the interactive teaching instruments for Geography and Geomatics promoted by the project.
The Romanian satellite Goliat was launched with the ESA’s vehicle Vega today, 13th February 2012 from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
The law on Romania's Accession Agreement to the European Space Agency (ESA) Convention was officially approved, signed and published on 14th of December.
Eduspace launched the Interactive Meteosat application that started in 2009 as a project conducted by ASRC.
FVPM - Young Research Teams Grant
ASRC was awarded a research contract under the National Plan for Research, Development and Innovation 2007-2013 (PNII) to perform “Analysis, extensions and applications of the Finite-Volume Particle Method (FVPM)”.
The aim of the project is to enhance the previous work of the Principal Investigator, Delia Teleaga, concerning the Finite-Volume Particle Method (FVPM). All the objectives represent novel approaches in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics and thus it is expected that they will represent a step forward in this field.
The project will drive and promote progress in Scientific Computing, Fluid Dynamics, and Nonlinear Mathematical Physics. The meshless character of the applied method, together with the intended application to turbulent flows, are making this research innovative and very challenging. Through the investigation of the modelling error induced by a turbulence model, it is expected that the research will provide insight into the complex multiscale physics of turbulent flows and improve our understanding of fluid turbulence.
The range of applications of the extended FVPM that will arise from this varies from standard benchmark issues to real industrial challenges involving time-dependent domains or fluid-structure interactions. Also the extension of the FVPM scheme to Magneto-Hydrodynamics or to Three Dimensions can be considered as further applications.
