Transport and Thermal Fluids PhenomenaSlide 1 of 2
High-Fidelity Numerical Modeling & Simulation of Fire Suppression
Predicts multiphase turbulent mixing processes over a wide range of time/length scales.
Grand challenge of turbulence modeling with reactions
Multi-scale modeling on both large and small scales
Includes Sandia, Navy & NIST interactions plus excellent educational components.

Nanocolloid Assembly and Dispersion by Quantum “Design” of van der Waals Forces
Nanocolloids have remarkable electrical, optical and reactive properties
Need to prevent aggregation by predicting and controlling van der Waals forces
Use solvent mixtures to “shield” nanocolloids to keep them stable
