P-23 Extreme Fluids Team at
Los Alamos National Laboratory
Mujtaba Mansoor earned his PhD from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and joined the Extreme Fluids Team at Los Alamos National Laboratory as a Director’s Postdoc in 2018. His research at KAUST focused on free-surface flows, cavitation and drag reduction.
Of particular interest to him has been the classical water-entry problem relevant to several naval and military applications such as in air-to-sea ballistic missiles, slamming of ships, and seaplane landings.
He now works on understanding the effect of initial conditions on the growth of Richtmyer–Meshkov instability and shocked turbulence at the Vertical Shock Tube Facility to probe mixing processes in the extreme conditions prevalent in Inertial Confinement Fusion.
