Welcome

We conduct fundamental research in fluid mechanics. We aim to explain the physical mechanisms of multi-phase and wall-bounded turbulent flows with applications in aerodynamics and propulsion.

We develop numerical methods and algorithms for parallel supercomputers for state-of-the-art Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) and Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of turbulent flows using high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial neural networks (ANN).

We have recently discovered a new law of fluid mechanics – the law of incipient separation (AIAA J. 2021) – have developed “Fast” numerical methods for flows over curved surfaces (FastRK3 – JCP 2020) and multiphase flows (FastP* – JCP 2014) which are tens of times faster than previous methods while preserving the computational accuracy, and have developed a new LES approach for droplet-laden flows mixed with artificial neural networks (MANN-LES  IJMF 2021).
