A Mass Conservative Kalman Filter Algorithm for Computational Thermo-Fluid Dynamics

This paper studies Kalman filtering applied to Reynolds-Averaged Navier⁻Stokes (RANS) equations for turbulent flow. The integration of the Kalman estimator is extended to an implicit segregated method and to the thermodynamic analysis of turbulent flow, adding a sub-stepping procedure that...
