We study fluid dynamics phenomena using computer simulations,
particularly fluid flows involving chemical reactions such as combustion.
Our work extends from chemical kinetic reaction models for transportation
fuels to computationally expensive, direct numerical simulations of
turbulent combustion.
Our research focuses on numerical methods to reduce the computational expense
of accurately simulating combustion and engineering fluid flows,
as well as the actual physical phenomena like turbulence-chemistry interactions
and smoldering combustion.
