Welcome to the Multi-Scale Thermo Fluid Lab homepage. Our research focuses on various scale thermal-fluid phenomena, combining principles from physics, chemistry, and applied mathematics. Some of our current reserach topics include:
1. Investigating flow patterns during jet impingement around a concave surface to better understand heat transfer and its effect on fluid dynamics.
2. Analyzing flow path shapes to improve the performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) for more efficient energy conversion.
3. Measuring the temperature filed of the curved surface where a cooling jet collides using temperature-sensitive phosphors.
4. Analyzing the temperature field of a droplet colliding with a hot surface to understand the microscopic heat transfer interaction between liquid and solid.
5. Designing microfluidic channels for thrombus measurement, with potential applications in blood flow analysis and medical diagnostics.
Our research areas include two-phase flow, development of microfluidic measurement devices, blood flow (hemodynamics), thermofluidic measurement techniques, and heat transfer in industrial structures. We leverage experiments, simulations, and modeling to quantitatively characterize these complecx issues. Thank you for visiting our website.
