Research Interests
Fluid Dynamics:
1. Geophysical fluid dynamics: strongly rotating
flows, gravity currents, spin up/down flows, ocean modeling
(ROMS)
3. Microfluidics, electrophoresis, electro-osmosis,
magnetic and/or electric particles
3. Simulation of particulate
flows and moving boundaries via immersed boundary methods and
level-set methods
4. Multiphase flows, chaotic mixing, dynamical
systems
5. Inertial waves
Heat Transfer:
1. Heat transfer enhancement
2. Numerical
methods for the solution of heat transfer and momentum problems with
fluid/particle interaction.
Elasticity:
Numerical methods for the solution of equations of
elasto-statics/dynamics with immersed boundary methods.
