Mixing in turbulent flows

在自然界和人造世界中，湍流是常态（而层流是例外）。 拟进行的研究涉及湍流内的混合研究-这一现象是一系列过程的基础，包括空气动力学、气象学、燃烧和环境污染物扩散。我的主要目标是通过创新的实验和相关的分析来提高对湍流混合的理解。 为此，我的四个长期目标是：1）保持热线风速计，冷线测温和激光诱导荧光实验的坚实计划，2）开发新的实验方法和数据分析技术，3）将我的研究计划扩展到新的领域，4）继续培养各级学生。

In both nature and the man-made world, turbulent flows are the norm (whereas laminar flows are the exception). The research to be undertaken involves the study of mixing within turbulent flows - a phenomenon that underlies a wide range of processes, including aerodynamics, meteorology, combustion, and environmental pollutant dispersion. My main goal is to improve the understanding of turbulent mixing by means of innovative experiments, and related analysis. To this end, my four long-term objectives are: 1) maintaining a solid program of hot-wire anemometry, cold-wire thermometry, and laser-induced fluorescence based experiments, 2) development of new experimental methods and data-analysis techniques, 3) extension of my research program into new areas, and 4) continuing to train students at all levels.
