Dr. Yongsheng LIAN

I am an associate professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Louisville. As the director of the Computational Thermal and Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, I and my group conduct research in multiphase flow including multi-scale simulation of drop impact, supercooled large droplet for icing, nucleate pool boiling, and multiphase packed bed reactors. Another research area is computational aerodynamics including fluid and structure interaction and shock-bubble interaction. I am also the faculty advisor of the Rocket Team and 3D Printing in Microgravity Team.
