About

Our research at ACFTL focuses on addressing key technological and environmental challenges linked to transitional and turbulent fluid flows, particularly their role in momentum, heat, and mass transfer. Our work finds application in areas such as aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, propulsion, turbomachinery, thermal management, and materials processing.

We are dedicated to conducting high-fidelity computational studies, complemented by analytical and semi-analytical approaches. Our current projects include:

  • Predicting stability and transition phenomena in high-speed flow environments
  • Simulating chemically non-reacting and reacting turbulent shear flows
  • Developing strategies for flow control and reducing turbulent drag
  • Enhancing predictive simulations using data assimilation and machine learning

Our numerical simulations emphasize accuracy and are designed to capture the intricate physics of fluid flow across all turbulence scales. To achieve this, we develop and implement highly efficient, scalable algorithms optimized for large-scale parallel computing on cutting-edge high-performance platforms.

Positions Available

We are seeking motivated individuals with a strong foundation in fluid mechanics and computational methods to join our team. Graduate-level candidates should possess or be eager to acquire expertise in C/C++/Fortran programming, parallel computing with MPI, and other advanced libraries. Additionally, research opportunities are available for undergraduate students to support graduate researchers by contributing to mesh generation, running simulations, and visualizing results.
