Coupled environmental flow and transport
We investigate turbulence, heat and mass transfer, and interacting physical processes across natural and built environments.
Research areas
Three connected themes
The themes below share a common foundation in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, atmospheric science, and high-fidelity computation.
Heat Transfer & Prognostic Models
Temperature, moisture, ignition potential, natural thermal structures, and building–environment energy exchange.
