Computational
Fluid Dynamics
Simulate
via numerical algorithms and codes to
understand and model the physics and mathematics
of fluid flows. We are now focusing on accelerated
inhomogeneous flow configurations , e.g. Rayleigh-Taylor
and Richtmyer-Meshkov flows. Here applications are to
laser (inertial confinement ) fusion, supersonic
combustion and astrophysical flows.
Visiometrics
Enhance
our methodology
of visualizing,
projecting, extracting, tracking and quantifying the
evolving amorphous features that arise in massive
data sets of simulated and real
fluid flows. Generate
and quantify the accuracy of algorithms and codes
for simulation and visiometrics.
Reduced
Modeling
Mathematize
these flows,
with interacting shock waves, multi-phase
interfaces or fronts, vorticies, and turbulence,
to allow us to
formulate reduced
or asymptotical
models. With these models,
we will obtain robust and efficient scalings and
predictions of
nonlinear dynamical processes like turbulence and
mixing.
