Atmospheric fluid dynamics
Coupled multi-scale phenomena in atmospheric boundary layer, i.e. fire-atmosphere interaction, particle dispersion, wind turbine wake dynamics, atmospheric turbulence, and multi-scale coupling.
Modeling fluid-solid interactions
Lagrangian particle techniques and immersed boundary method to model fluid-solid interaction, i.e., particle transport, turbine-atmosphere and vegetation-atmosphere interactions.
Fire spread in urban and wildland environment
Contiguous and discontinuous fire spread in large-scale fires, Modeling complex physical processes in large-scale fire such as heat transfer, combustion, ignition, and firebrand transport.
Wind energy harvest
Modeling wind turbine aerodynamics and control, wind turbine/atmosphere interaction, turbine-to-turbine interaction in a wind farm, wind farm wake dynamics and environmental impacts.
High-performance computing simulations
High-performance computing (HPC) with massively parallelized processing using MPI and OpenMP, programming in Fortran/C/C++, and 3-D graphics software development (OpenGL) for data analysis.
