Welcome! Fundamental and applied
thermofluid research is performed in Thermofluid
Research and Design Lab at California
State University, Northridge, utilizing Computational, experimental and
analytical techniques. Design and development of advanced heat management
devices with applications in electronic cooling, biomedical devices, and
renewable energy systems are also established in the lab. Research area
include, but not limited to, investigation of thermal transport through porous
media, multiphase flow and phase change, bioheat transfer,
electronics cooling, electric vehicle battery cooling, renewable energy, energy
recovery systems, highly efficient heat exchangers, gas turbine cooling, fan
design, rotor aerodynamics, wind and gas turbines, jet mixing, and film
cooling.
