Title: Lecture Series on Computational and Applied Mathematics Lecture #1: Introduction to Turbulent Mixing
Abstract: The purpose of this lecture series is to introduce the ongoing projects in the Computational and Applied Mathematics group in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Arkansas. We will talk about the broad areas:
i) Modeling and Simulation: Computational fluid dynamics and turbulence
ii) Numerical methods for Partial Differential Equations
iii) Computer aspects of numerical algorithms – Scientific Parallel Computing
iv) Uncertainty Quantification, Machine Learning, Deep Learning
Lecture #1: Turbulent mixing due to the hydrodynamical instabilities occurs in a wide range of scientific and engineering problems such as gravitationally induced mixing in oceanography, inertial confinement fusion and supernovae explosions. In this talk, we will introduce the models and numerical algorithms, Large Eddy Simulation with subgrid scale models with Front Tracking, used for investigating the behavior of the mixing layer driven by the instabilities at the interface between two fluids.
Short Bio: Dr. Tulin Kaman is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Arkansas. She is also the holder of the Lawrence Jesser Toll Jr. Chair in the department where she is leading a research program in computational and applied mathematics. Her research focuses on the interfaces of modeling and simulation in computational fluid dynamics and turbulence, numerical methods for partial differential equations, computer aspects of numerical algorithms in scientific parallel computing and uncertainty quantification. Her research involves the study of the turbulent mixing and turbulent combustion to understand the physical instability mechanism on the important scientific and engineering problems.
Tulin Kaman received her B.S. in Mathematics from Yildiz Technical University and her M.S. in Computational Science and Engineering from Istanbul Technical University in Turkey. She earned her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from Stony Brook University in New York, winning the Woo Jong Kim Dissertation Award. Afterwards she was a Paul Scherrer Institute Fellow, a post-doctoral researcher and lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at ETH-Zurich and Institute of Mathematics at the University of Zurich in Switzerland. She is a member of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). She serves as the faculty advisor of the AWM/SIAM Student Chapters at the University of Arkansas, and in 2019 joined the SIAM Membership Committee that provides information and direction to address needs of various segments of membership including students, young professionals, international and industry.
