About Our Research

Computational methods are routinely used to solve fluid flow problems in academia and industry, alike. At Northwestern, cutting-edge and novel Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques are developed and applied to study problems ranging from fluid-structure interactions, biofluid dynamics, organ physiology, astrophysics, additive manufacturing, granular flows, interfacial flows, sports mechanics, and micro, nano, and molecular scale flows among others. Each of the computational groups have in-house computational capabilities. In addition, we have access to Northwestern Quest High Performance Computing Cluster and federally funded supercomputing facilities such as XSEDE, among others.

Our research in fluid dynamics focuses on the areas and the sub-areas listed below.
