Developing new models that explain and predict turbulence: this research will lead to dramatic improvements in applications from the design of vehicles and cardiac devices to weather and air-quality forecasting.
Understanding how materials used in a range of engineering and manufacturing processes deform under stress and temperature fluctuations: the research helps scientists develop new materials and helps engineers better utilize these materials in their designs.
Queen's researcher Dr. Ugo Piomelli, Canada Research Chair in Turbulence Simulation and Modelling, discusses the relationship between turbulent flow and the surfaces it interacts with as part of his research at the Turbulence Simulation Lab (TSL) at Queen's.
