Numerical investigation of the breakdown of continuum descriptions in fluid flow

The research program focuses on furthering our understanding of the underlying mechanisms responsible for complex fluid flow. A major goal of the research is to develop theoretical and numerical tools capable of incorporating a broad range of fluid particle interactions, that can also be used to estimate transport coefficients in continuum flow models, as well as to detect the breakdown of the continuum assumption. To achieve this goal, a stochastic phase-space description and a corresponding particle-based numerical model will be developed.
