Computational Fluid Dynamics
Faculty and students are working on many aspects of this growing field, including structured and unstructured grid generation and adaptation; finite volumes and finite element schemes, convergence acceleration of iterative techniques; numerical solution of Euler and Navier-Stokes equations; accurate simulation of time-dependent problems for unsteady aerodynamics, gas dynamics and electromagnetics; numerical simulation of fluid problems with heat and mass transfer; numerical studies of combustion and chemically reacting turbulent flows; turbulence and modelings; and flow simulation in turbomachinery. Emphasis is placed on fundamental concepts in the physics and numerics of problems that cover a wide range of practical industrial applications.
