发信站: 饮水思源 (2014年11月13日07:57:59 星期四)

Several RA positions are available for PhD study of fluid mechanics in Profess
or Lian Shen’s research group at University of Minnesota (UMN).
Prof. Shen’s group conducts computational and theoretical studies of fluid dynamics in
areas including DNS and LES of turbulence, boundary layers, theory of water
waves, hydrodynamics, multiphase and/or free-surface flows, microscale flows, and
high-performance scientific computing. The research is well-funded, with
supports from National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, Department of
Energy, industry, etc. The projects originate from a wide range of applicati-
ons, such as environmental sciences, renewable energy (including wind energy
and wave energy), physical oceanography, and ocean engineering; however,
fundamental mechanism of fluid dynamics is always a major focus of the research in
Prof. Shen’s group.

Prof. Shen’s group is affiliated with both Mechanical Engineering Department
and St. Anthony Falls Laboratory at UMN, which is located in the
Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area in a state with over 10,000 beautiful lakes.
The world ranking of UMN is 29, 30, and 46, respectively, according to US News &
World Reports, Center for World-Class Universities at SJTU, and Times Higher
Education. Despite its moderate size, the Mechanical Engineering of UMN is ranked
the 16th by US News & World Reports and the 7th by National Research Council
nationally. The St. Anthony Falls Lab, of which Prof. Shen is the Associate
Director overseeing its research, is a fluid mechanics institute with over 50
faculty and staff members. The lab possesses excellent computational and
experimental facilities, has been a center for multidisciplinary fluid mechanics
research, and is particularly strong in the study of environment, energy, and
health related fluid flows.

Interested students are welcome to submit their applications to Department of
Mechanical Engineering of UMN before the deadline of December 15th. The PhD
application to the Mechanical Engineering Department is very competitive.
Successful applicants are expected to have a strong academic background, be highly
motivated, and have strong interests in performing top-quality research and
publishing in top-tier journals. Students interested in joining
Prof. Lian Shen’s group are welcome to contact him at shen@umn.edu.
Sending a copy of CV and transcript in the email will be helpful.
