Welcome to the FAST Lab at Ole Miss
The Fundamentals and Applied Science of Turbulence (FAST) Lab is a fluid dynamics research group at the University of Mississippi. Our aim is to explore and understand turbulence, including flow separation, modulations by surface structures, multiphase and interface physics, and scalar transport.
We are looking for passionate new PhD students, Master students, and Undergraduate students to join the team!
