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.

*
Modified University of Chicago and ANL Flash code: successfully ported one
FLASH code to MPI and sought further improvements beyond that code’s
then-design like implementing a 3D version of a domain-decomposition scheme
that was more compatible with the multi-grid scheme and MPI; enabled the
multi-grid and domain decomposition to run with MPI on odd or even numbers of
processors on ASCI parallel super-computers *
Combining pressure-dilatation correction turbulence model for hypersonic
flows with multi-dimensional, integral, multiphase, multi-species, reacting,
turbulent, viscous model for supersonic injection, mixing and combustion for
scramjet model * Modified ANL's Energy Systems division code for 2D, integral, multiphase, multi-species, reacting, turbulent, viscous flow analysis for EPA. |

Compressor
Rotating Stall Dynamic Modeling with 3D, unsteady, viscous CFD codes Worked
with University of Akron on bridging CFD with reduced-order, nonlinear
dynamic models for control designs (Ph. D. student thesis topic is an
extension of research with my former doctoral student summer intern) Designed dynamic models of General Aviation aircraft internal combustion engine mated to variable pitch propeller in visual real-time simulation environment. Planned
and instrumented flight test to validate GA propulsion system dynamic models. Supersonic Compression System Dynamic Modeling • Showed new form of unstable phenomena in simulations. • Wrote and modified unsteady, quasi-1D, inviscid and compressible flow codes. • Monitored contracts and grants. • Mentored 5 undergraduate and graduate doctoral interns (co-wrote papers). |
|
• Designed and conducted experiment for dynamic testing of compression systems. • Took dynamic pressure, temperature and other flow data. • Conducted spectral analyses of dynamic testing data on compression systems. Supersonic Application of Drag Force Anemometer • Designed and conducted experiments to extend the use of drag force anemometers (drag probe) to supersonic dynamic flow measurements and derived analytical basis. •
Calibrated, took Schlieren pictures and laser shadowgraphs. |
