Research Interests:
Our research is concerned with the development of unstructured mesh methods for computational fluid dynamics. These include discretization methods, solution methods such as multigrid and implicit methods for steady-state and time-accurate simulations, unstructured grid generation techniques and adaptive and moving mesh strategies. We are also interested in design optimization methods, and the efficient solution of coupled fluid-structural problems. All these efforts are performed in a parallel computing environment. The application areas include aerodynamics of commercial aircraft and business jets, and unsteady aeroelastic effects.
