Center for Turbulence Research

Faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and visiting fellows use computer simulation methodology to conduct studies of turbulent flows aimed at improving prediction methods and developing concepts for turbulence control for engineering applications. Specific areas of interest include external and internal aerodynamics, distributed control, reacting flows and combustion, heat transfer, parallel computing, numerical methods for partial differential equations, stochastic differential equations, aeroacoustics and hydroacoustics, plasmas, planetary formation, and molecular dynamics.
