Shashank Karra's work was accepted for publication in Journal of Fluid mechanics (July 2023)! Congratulations! Ahmad Alshehri successfully defends and completes his MS thesis. Congratulations Ahmad! Nathan Keane publishes his first journal paper in International Journal of Multiphase Flow. Congratulations Nathan! Read about the paper here Shashank Karra successfully defends and completes his PhD dissertation. Congratulations Dr. Karra! Well deserved. Daniel Fust joins our research group! Welcome Daniel. Daniel comes with MS from UC, Davis and two years of industry experience in CFD and optimization problems. Our group secured Leadership Research Allocation (LRAC) on XSEDE's FRONTERA for 2022-2023. A total of 400,000 Node-hrs, equivalent to $160K of equipment, were awarded as one of the few selected projects. Read more here. Our group secured Leadership Research Allocation (LRAC) on XSEDE's FRONTERA for 2021-2022. A total of 500,000 Node-hrs (28M CPU-hrs), equivalent to $200K of equipment, were awarded as one of the few selected projects. Read more here. Kai Roberts successfully defends his Honors College thesis (PDF) wherein he developed computer modules for motion of non-spherical, ellipsoidal particles in complex flow. His approach is useful for particle-laden flows and modeling the dynamics of liquid ligament. He was recipient of the Deloach Scholarship. Keynote Lecture at ILASS-Americas (Institute for Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems) Conference on "Advances in Modeling Atomization and Spray Systems in the Euler-Lagrange Framework". See program. Invited Lecture at ERCOFTAC (European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence, and Combustion) on special lecture series on "COVID 19 Flows: Study and Practical Recommendations" See video.   "Are Warm-Air Blowers Causing Surgical Site Infections?" A case study was conducted in our group. Read about it here and here and here too! Nathan Keane receives Summer Fellowship at Stennis Space Center under Naval Research Laboratory's Sediment Dynamics section. Plenary lecture at "International Workshop on Multiphase Turbulence and Statistical Modeling" in Marseille, France. Read at Turbulence Marseille. Dr. Apte gives invited talks at LEGI (Grenoble) and Ecole Centrale de Lyon. Shashank Karra receives Internship and Research Support to conduct research on turbulent flows over permeable beds at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). Invited talk at AGU Fall Meeting in New Orleans: Special Session on Computational Fluid Modeling for Earth Surface Processes Sediment Dynamics Section. PhD student Tracie Jackson's work gets noticed. Staying Fluid! Cihonski, Finn, and Apte's paper wins ASME's Robert T. Knapp Award. The Robert T. Knapp award is presented for the most outstanding original papers dealing with analytical or laboratory research in fluids engineering.
