机械工程哲学博士-流体科学热学

热流体科学涉及基于物理学，流体和气体动力学以及热传递等原理的实验技术和数学方法的应用，以发展和运营能源转换系统，例如太阳能电池板，风力涡轮机和内燃机。目前由热流体科学系教授进行的研究项目涉及热量和质量传输过程，微流体，流体动力学，流体力学稳定性理论和流固耦合问题，其中许多与生物学和医学应用有关。通过将实验方法与数学模型相结合，我们正在研究流体动力学以及热量和质量传递对组织内和通过循环系统输送治疗剂的策略，用于识别和分离生物医学装置的设计的影响。特定的生物细胞，并用于制造具有局部材料特性的新型材料和涂层。学
Thermal-Fluids Sciences involves the application of experimental techniques and mathematical methods based on principles from physics, fluid and gas dynamics, and heat transfer to the development and operation of energy conversion systems, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and internal combustion engines. Research projects currently conducted by faculty in the thermal fluid sciences involve heat and mass transport processes, microfluidics, fluid dynamics, hydrodynamic stability theory and fluid-structure interaction problems, many are associated with biological and medical applications. Employing a combination of experimental methods with mathematical models, we are investigating the effects of fluid dynamics and heat and mass transfer on strategies for the delivery of therapeutics agents within tissue and through the circulatory system, the design of biomedical devices for the identification and separation of specific biological cells, and for manufacturing novel materials and coatings with localized material properties.
