We are dedicated to studying complex engineering problems involving combustion, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer utilizing state-of-the-art experimental diagnostic techniques, analytical and numerical analysis. The topics that we have researched include:
lean limit behavior and blowoff characteristics in bluff body stabilized flames
stability and ignition characteristics of reacting jets in high temperature cross flow
heat transfer in GT combustors
application of novel optical diagnostic techniques for non-reacting and reacting flows (PLIF, PLRS, TDLAS, PIV, LDV, PDPA)
dynamics of buoyant plumes and flames
vortex-flame interactions
analysis and experiments on mixing and reactions in vortical flows
analysis of and measurements in thermal spray processes
analysis of thermodynamics of rotating detonation engine processes
