Abstract:
In my recent work, I proposed a model of weakly compressible flow, which relaxes the zero-divergence constraint in the incompressible flow model by replacing it with linear damping for the velocity divergence. I will show the results of numerical simulations with this model, where turbulence is created spontaneously via the mean field effect of the intermolecular potential.
