Fluid Mechanics: Computational Fluid Dynamics
Computational Science and Engineering

Professor Meiburg's research interests lie in the general area of fluid dynamics and transport phenomena. His group primarily employs the tools of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), in particular highly resolved direct numerical simulations, in order to obtain insight into the physical mechanisms that govern the spatio-temporal evolution of a wide variety of flow fields. Occasionally, his group extends their analyses to address issues of linear stability as well. Frequently, they collaborate closely with corresponding experimental investigations. Some current interests are focused on particle and droplet laden flows, free shear flows with and without swirl, gravity currents, fluid transport in porous media, and miscible fluid flows with steep concentration gradients.
