Our group working on development of high-fidelity multidisciplinary methods for the analysis and design of complex systems in wind energy, civil, aerospace and offshore/marine engineering using large-scale computing. Current research topics include fluid-structure interaction (FSI), dynamically-data-driven simulations (DDDS), damage modelling in aerospace composite structures, atmospheric flow modelling over complex terrains, numerical modelling of compressible reactive flows and cavitation flows around propellers.
