Welcome to the Thermo-Fluids Lab at GW!

We are focused at solving complex flow problems while advancing the state of the art of experimental techniques.  We are active in three core areas: Fluid-Structure Interaction, Multiphase Flows, and Buoyancy driven flows. Our applications range from industrial to environmental flows with a strong focus on naval applications and nuclear thermal-hydraulics and security.

Our research philosophy is driven by three cross-cutting areas: to gain physical insights as well as validate numerical models; to develop non-intrusive laser and optical diagnostics that are multi-scale, multi-physics, and deployable in-situ; to design and instrument unique facilities.
