The path to a secure and responsible energy future
will be led by frontiers in turbulence, thermal sciences,
and high-performance computing. Advancements in
these fields will enable cleaner and more efficient energy
technologies, and provide a deeper understanding of
the natural world.
Our group focuses on developing physics-based models and
numerical algorithms to leverage super computers
for prediction and optimization of the complex
flows relevant to energy and the environment.
