Neural network-based wall models for large-eddy simulation
Winter 2021
A wall-model for large-eddy simulation (LES) is developed using a dense neural network trained using filtered turbulent channel DNS data. This project was inspired by the work of Yang et al., Phys. Rev. Fluids, 2019.
Final Project for ME 343: Machine Learning for Mechanical Engineering

Parallel scalable compressible jet code in python
Summer 2020
A compressible jet code written using python (numba, numpy, mpi4py) is used to simulate the dispersion of a passively-transported contaminant. The code is parallel and shown to be scalable.
