Directed by Dr. Graham F. Carey, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Laboratory promotes teaching and research specialization in this area as well as in other related transport phenomena. Research in the laboratory is directed in several areas including predictive simulation of flow processes, research on new methods and algorithms, supercomputer applications and parallel processing, and research on the basic mechanics of little-understood flow phenomena. The lab has several workstations and support systems networked together. It is linked to larger systems at ICES, the University of Texas Aerospace Engineering Department, and at the Texas Advanced Computing Facility located on the J.J. Pickle Research Campus. CFDLaboratory computers are used for moderate-scale computations, testing ideas, program check-out, and communication with mainframes on campus, government supercomputer facilities, and other supercomputer centers.
