|
Academic Mission: To conduct forefront academic research in computational engineering sciences weak form theory and computing practice, to bring cutting-edge simulation capability to focus in assisting commercial industry do a better job of engineering design optimization. The historical research has been continuum computational fluid dynamics/heat/mass transport, collectively called "CFD,", a subject permeating a wide range of engineering design for optimal performance. The UT CFD Laboratory exemplified the venue that industry has assimilated to keep pace in computer-based engineering system simulation. All MSc/PhD students, plus participating industry scientists and engineers, conducted applications in this exemplary computing environment promoting rapid conversion of theory musings into computing practice. Research Facilities: The UT CFD Laboratory lecture/computing facility well supported the educational/research mission of the graduate Engineering Science focus in the computational engineering sciences. Research projects conducted through the UT CFD Lab also interacted with the UT Innovative Computing Laboratory (ICL) and the UT-ORNL Joint Institute for Computational Sciences (JICS) for high-end parallel computing research in CFD. The Lighter Side: The field of CFD is populated with bright colorful people with a sense of humor. Touch the following for trips to the lighter side: |
