Computational Turbulence and Multi-physics Group
The Computational Turbulence and Multi-physics Group is a multidisciplinary research team that develops computational techniques to address the entire spectrum of research, including discovery, analysis, predictive modeling, optimization, and control of turbulent flows and their multi-physical interactions.
As a world-leading group in this domain, we develop and apply computational techniques to address the entire spectrum of research, including discovery, analysis, predictive modeling, optimization, and control of turbulent flows and their multi-physical interactions. Our goal is to expand the boundaries of knowledge in real-world applications, from advancing aerospace, marine, and nuclear sciences to improving energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
