My current research is involved with the modeling and simulation of multiphase flows. More specifically, I am working on developing spectral models for fluid-particle interaction when the particles are larger than the smallest flow scales and much denser than the fluid. These conditions allow a separation of time- and length-scales which makes it feasible to perform meaningful simulations of flow around single particles in the presence of (initially) isotropic turbulence. These simulations then provide data for the model coefficients. In order to efficiently perform these simulations, it was necessary to devise an immersed boundary technique which did not impose time-step constraints on the code.
