We study fluid dynamics and heat transfer in complex natural phenomena and engineering systems using numerical, mathematical, and statistical models, guided by observational and experimental data. Our work is often motivated by theoretical and applied problems related to environment and energy. Examples of problems of interest are environmental and geophysical flows, reduced-order modeling, extreme weather events, atmospheric turbulence, climate modeling, flow control in energy systems, and numerical and mathematical modeling of thermo-fluid processes. Our research is currently supported by NASA, NSF, ONR, National Academy of Sciences, Microsoft AI, Mitsubishi Electric Research Lab, Rice University Creative Ventures, and Rice Houston Engagement and Recovery Effort.

• November 2019: Our 上外国的网站东西加速软件 led by Ph.D. student Ebrahim Nabizadeh and in collaboration with Prof. Da Yang (UC Davis/LBNL) and Prof. Libby Barnes (CSU) is published in Geophysical Research Letters. In this paper, we show that jet streams’ blocking events, which cause weather extremes such as heat waves and cold spells, are becoming larger under climate change. We also use the Buckingham-pi theorem to derive a scaling law for the size of the blocking events in a hierarchy of climate models. The findings have implications for the size and magnitude of future extreme weather events. See the Rice press release, NSF Research News, phys.org & 上外国的网站东西加速软件
