Aerospace Engineering Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory
Our lab is directed by Dr. Jack R. Edwards and is part of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University.
The AECFDL conducts research in computational fluid dynamics, with an emphasis on the development of advanced physical models and algorithms suitable for conducting large-scale simulations of diverse fluid phenomena. The AECFDL utilizes in-house implicit flow solvers optimized for parallel and GPU-based architectures. Specific areas of current interest include shock-dominated internal flows, reactant mixing and combustion, human-induced contaminant transport, hybrid large-eddy simulation / Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes methods, supercritical and multi-phase fuel injection, immersed boundary methods, and GPU computing. Our gallery section describes several of these areas in more detail, including images from recent works along with publication lists. Our research section lists our current projects. If you are interested in joining the AECFDL, please see our Openings page.
