Research Overview
Dr. Ling's research focuses on the high-fidelity modeling and simulation of a wide range of multiphase flows and heat transfer processes. This encompasses atomization and sprays, the aerodynamic deformation and breakup of droplets, flows containing droplets and bubbles undergoing phase change, and the impact of droplets on solid surfaces and thin films.
More specifically, his research group develops advanced numerical methods and simulation tools. They conduct large-scale simulations using state-of-the-art supercomputers, investigating the intricate thermal-energy challenges within multiphase flows. Moreover, they develop physics-based and data-driven models to efficiently predict outcomes in practical applications.
