Research

Division of aerodynamics is involved in a broad range of Fluid Mechanics research in both experiment and computation.

Our main area of interest lies in:

• Development, testing and application of high efficiency parallel CFD numerical tools.
• Application of Residual Distribution (Fluctuation Splitting) methods on unstructured meshes for advection dominated problems.
• Methods of unstructured, structured and hybrid mesh generation.
• Mesh adaptation through remeshing, refinement and mesh movement in a massively parallel computational environment.
• Error estimation techniques.
• Generation of high order meshes for curvilinear boundaries in complex, industrial geometries.
• Passive and active flow control methods.
• Laminar instabilities, and laminar mixing.
• Adjoint methods.
• Optimization.
• Uncertainty quantification.
• Lattice Boltzmann methods
• Non-Newtonian fluids
• Human blood circulation modeling
• Turbulence modeling
• Modeling of multiphase flows with interfaces
