Experience
  • Industrial and aircraft gas-turbine cycle analysis, turbomachinery design systems, steady/unsteady-flow analysis and simulations of gas-turbine components, computational fluid dynamics procedures for gas-turbine flows, combustion, structures, aeroelasticity, acoustics, vibration control, and material strengthening
Interest
  • Turbomachinery unsteady aerodynamics (including forced-response and flutter), aeroelasticity, aeroacoustics, design optimization, multi-component integration of simulations, combustion, laser-peening and material life
Facilities

  • Experimental facilities include subsonic wind tunnels, anechoic chamber, and combustion instability tunnel. Computer facilities include high-speed Linux cluster.


University of California, Davis

The University of California, Davis (UCD) is located in Davis, California about 15 miles west of Sacramento in the north central valley. The Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering at UCD has 32 faculty, 720 undergraduates, and 170 graduates with approximately $6 million in annual research expenditures. Ongoing gas-turbine research is being conducted in engine cycles, unsteady turbomachinery aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, aeroacoustics, combustion, combustion stability, and material strengthening using laser peening.
