Dr. Yang's research interests broadly encompass the first-principles based modeling and simulation of reactive flows, including: combustion, turbulence, plasma physics, particulate and multi-phase flows, and their multi-scale interactions. The goal is to develop and utilize high-fidelity, computationally efficient predictive tools in order to: (i) gain fundamental understanding of the physicochemical processes in reactive flows; (ii) design and control advanced propulsion and power-generation systems (primarily reciprocating engines and gas turbines) for energy sustainability.
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.
