The faculty in the Computational Engineering research area develop and use mathematical models and numerical simulation tools for problems in fluid and solid mechanics. Application areas include aerodynamics, fluid-structure interactions, marine structures, combustion, and atmospheric pollution modeling. The models, methodology, and software developed by researchers in this group are a key part of the outcome of the research. High-performance computing and data-driven modeling are essential tools for this work. By its nature, the research undertaken in this group requires expertise not just in fluid and solid mechanics, but also in computer science and applied mathematics. Students can expect to develop and use techniques including the finite element and finite volume methods, large eddy simulation, mesh adaptation, molecular dynamics, high-performance computing and data-driven modeling.
