Computational Turbulence and Multiphysics Group
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 multiphysical 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.
