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, renewable energy and energy recovery systems, highly efficient heat
exchangers, gas turbine cooling techniques, fan design, rotor aerodynamics,
wind and gas turbines, jet mixing and film cooling.
