My research falls into five areas, as follows.

1. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

  • Developing a new two-phase flow C++ solver for performing high-fidelity spray simulations
  • Developing new numerical algorithms for two-phase compressible pressure and energy calculations
  • Performing high-fidelity atomization simulations using realistic engineering nozzle configuration
  • Performance evaluation of the adaptive mesh refinement solver interDyMFoam
  • Downwash flow analysis of unmanned aerial vehicle
  • Verification of Lagrangian equation of motion under low-Weber number conditions

2. Modeling of Two-Phase Flows

  • Modeling of secondary droplet breakup
  • Modeling of Lagrangian droplet vaporization

3. Thermal/Heat Transfer Analysis

  • Enhanced the heat transfer performance of a large-scale industrial motor
  • Optimized the thermal dissipation performance of an industrial oven

4. Computer-aided Design (CAD)

  • Frame/Fin designs of a totally-enclosed fan-cooled motor
  • Desgin of a hyperbolic reflective shock tunnel

5. Renewable Energy

  • Modeling of solar diffusion fraction
  • Design of a compound parabolic solar collector
  • Established a typical meteorological year database
