Modeling plasma jets;Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of MHD turbulence; Modeling plasmas for various applications ranging from plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), treating wounds with plasma jets to propulsion systems (hypersonic, space, electric propulsion (ion thruster optics, cathode), plasma jets for flow control, MPD thrusters, magnetic nozzles, pulsed-detonation engines, turbomachinery); dynamics of real gases, reacting flow systems. Simulations use spectral methods on the full Boltzmann and Maxwell equations as well as linearized Boltzmann such as the lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM).Teaching freshman engineering design, aerospace engineering fluid physics, senior undergrad/grad electric propulsion;Engineering education using hands-on/minds-on activities & mini-projects supplementing interactive lectures!

* Modified University of Chicago and ANL Flash code: successfully ported one FLASH code to MPI and sought further improvements beyond that code’s then-design like implementing a 3D version of a domain-decomposition scheme that was more compatible with the multi-grid scheme and MPI; enabled the multi-grid and domain decomposition to run with MPI on odd or even numbers of processors on ASCI parallel super-computers* Combining pressure-dilatation correction turbulence model for hypersonic flows with multi-dimensional, integral, multiphase, multi-species, reacting, turbulent, viscous model for supersonic injection, mixing and combustion for scramjet model* Modified ANL's Energy Systems division code for 2D, integral, multiphase, multi-species, reacting, turbulent, viscous flow analysis for EPA.
