RESEARCH AND TEACHING INTERESTS

 

Modeling plasma jets; MHD turbulence modeling; CFD of plasmas propulsion systems (hypersonic, space, electric propulsion (ion thruster optics, cathode), plasma jets for flow control, MPD thrusters, magnetic nozzles,…); dynamics of real gases, reacting flow systems. Simulations use spectral methods on the full Boltzmann and Maxwell equations as well as linearized Boltzmann such as the lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM). Research interests also include bio-fluid-mechanics or hemodynamics (blood flow in carotid artery), atmospheric and oceanic wave  interaction. CFD methods used include Lattice-Boltzmann, WENO, ALE, finite and spectral element methods. Some simulations are of plasmas for medical applications, e.g., treating wounds with room-temperature “cold” plasmas.
