Research Project

I am currently working on space-time hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin methods for incompressible flows on moving/deforming domains.  These methods allow high order approximation both in space and time while satisfying the underlying conservation laws locally.  The final goal of the project is the model the flow field around wind turbines and moving airfoils.  As part of this project, I am implementing the methods using the finite element library MFEM.  Some part of the code is publicly available on Github.
