Research Interests

Turbulence and Transport

As an associate professor at Northwestern Polytechnical University, I study turbulence structure and transport mechanisms, with a focus on:

• Flow structures. Vortex evolution in turbulent thermal convection, particularly during flow reversal.
• Heat transport. Heat transfer mechanisms and active or passive flow controls to enhance or suppress heat transfer.
• Mass transport. Controlling mixing to limit pollutant dispersion or enhance chemically reactive flows.

Multiscale Modeling

My PhD research focused on mesoscopic modeling with the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), including gas-liquid two-phase flows, particulate flows and flows in porous media.

These simulations draw on high performance computing (HPC), including OpenMP, MPI and OpenACC.

During my postdoc at HKUST, I extended this work to microscopic simulations: molecular dynamics (MD) for intrinsic transport properties, and density functional theory (DFT) for adsorbates on surfaces.
