Program Description

Our IGERT initiative explores multi-scale Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Our goal is provide doctoral students with a multidisciplinary education and enhanced training, integrating elements critical to solving problems in CFD.

IGERT students will apply to their home departments, as well as to the IGERT program. With the guidance of two or more faculty mentors from complementary disciplines, they will participate in a multidisciplinary course of study that includes team-taught core courses, an internship and an original fluid-dynamcial research problem for their dissertation

Our applications of interest include, but are not limited to: biological and bio-medical flow, oceanic and estuarine flows, geophysical and reservoir flows, astrophysical flows, and flows in engineering systems. Intrinsic to these applications is the need for improved numerical algorithms, physical models, visualization tools, and parallel and grid computing tools. The research and training of the students will integrate the applications with the mathematical and computational sciences.
