Dr. Yang's research interests broadly encompass the first-principled multi-physics modeling and CFD simulation of turbulent reacting/multiphase flows, spanning: combustion, plasma physics, particulate & gas-liquid flows, hypersonics, and their multi-scale interactions. The goal is to develop and utilize high-fidelity, computationally efficient predictive tools to: (i) gain fundamental understanding of the physicochemical processes in reacting/multiphase flows; (ii) design and control advanced propulsion & power-generation systems (reciprocating engines, gas-turbine jet engines, scramjets, rocket engines, detonation engines/tubes, chemical reactors, and hypersonic wave-riders / boost-glide vehicles, etc.) for energy sustainability: actual rocket science!
Suo Yang is a computational scientist and educator on the multiscale and multiphysics modeling of reactive flows. He is interested in developing advanced numerical models for applications in propulsion and power, manufacturing, environment, and human health.
