Welcome to the Flow Simulation and Analysis Group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The George Washington University, Washington DC.
The primary focus of the research group is on analyzing the physics of complex flows using numerical simulations. Research is motivated both by the quest to answer fundamental questions as well as specific flow related issues encountered in practical applications. Simulation of complex flows often requires specialized computational tools and development of such tools is another area of focus in our group.
Current research in our group is in turbulent and transitional flows, Cartesian grid methods, biofluid mechanics, turbomachinery flows, microfluidic actuators, active flow control, fluid-structure interaction and biomimetic propulsion. Much of this work is being done in collaboration with other groups here at The George Washington University as well as other universities including University of Iowa, Center for Turbulence Research (Stanford University), University of Florida, Harvard University, MIT and Center for Simulation of Advanced Rockets (University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign).
