Aerospace Engineering Prof. Jonathan Freund organized and chaired a symposium on “Directions in Computational Flow Physics” honoring Prof. Parviz Moin of Stanford for his leadership and groundbreaking simulation-based investigations of flow physics, particularly turbulence.
This symposium generated a recent special section of the November issue of Physics of Fluids, a journal of the American Institute of Physics. Freund, also a professor of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering, edited the section.
The work investigates the interaction between a thin metallic panel and the boundary layer using a direct numerical approach for coupled fluid-structure problems.
