High-Fidelity Modeling

This part focuses on Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) modeling of combustion physics at high-pressure, high-temperature, and high Reynolds number conditions in aerospace propulsion. The areas of interest include:

Turbulent combustion modeling
Multi-phase flow modeling
Numerical methods
High-Performance Parallel Computing (HPC)

The applications include rockets, gas turbines, rotating detonation engines (RDE) and etc.

Data-Driven and Reduced-Order Modeling

This part focuses on the development of Data-Driven and Reduced-Order Models (ROM) for complex fluid physics, especially for aerospace propulsion applications. The goal is to develop high-quality ROMs to enable efficient and accurate predictions of flow physics in complex engineering systems. Currently, we are collaborating with the University of Michigan, the University of Texas Austin, Purdue, and the New York University (NYU) on the Air Force-funded Center of Excellence (CoE) on Multi-Fidelity Modeling of Rocket Combustion Dynamics.
