Introduction

Our laboratory conducts thermal-engineering analyses of combustion, exhaust plumes, and heat-transfer phenomena in solid- and liquid propellant rocket engines for space-exploration and defense applications. 

In particular, through therm-fluid analyses of radiation-coupled combustion and exhaust plumes, we strive to build a systematic understanding of these systems and to train specialists who master the core knowledge and technologies transferable to aerospace programs and real-world industrial settings. 

Research Area

• Radiation-coupled combustion&thermal-fluid analysis for solid/liquid-propellant rocket engines

• Ablation behavior of nozzle thermal-protection materials and thrust characterization in rocket propulsion systems

• Exhaust plume studies of solid and electric propulsion in space environments

• Low-observability research on rocket and aircraft propulsion systems and their exhaust plumes
