Introduction

Research goal of Applied Aerothermodynamics Group (AAG) is to develop novel computational models and methods to discover unknown physics behind aerothermodynamic environment, such as planetary entry plasmas, high-temperature gas-surface interactions, and radiation-matter interactions. The systems of interest are composed of atoms, molecules, ions, and electrons surrounded by electromagnetic waves to understand the details of energy transfers among them in both micro- and macroscopic scales. Relevant applications typically address:

-    Hypersonic flows with uncertainty quantification
-    Plasma-driven high-speed flow control
-    Plasma-assisted combustion
-    High-performance computing applications

The research by AAG targets applications to a wide range of engineering problems in interdisciplinary, multi-scale, and multi-physics coupled environments.
