Yue Ling

Yue (Stanley) Ling is an Associate Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of South Carolina's Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing. He directs the Computational Thermo-Fluids Laboratory, where his team develops advanced numerical methods for high-fidelity simulation of multiphase flows and heat transfer processes.

Research focuses on atomization mechanisms, droplet/bubble dynamics with phase change, and fluid-surface interactions, using adaptive mesh refinement and massively parallel computing. Applications span fuel injection, thermal management, aerodynamics, and environmental processes. Dr. Ling's NSF CAREER Award (2020) supports fundamental research on spray formation mechanisms under turbulent conditions.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, University of Florida (2010)
• B.S. in Engineering Mechanics, Beihang University (2004)

Recent publications develop conservative volume-of-fluid methods for compressible multiphase flows and characterize turbulence-interface interactions. Awards include ASME's Best Video Presentation (2021) and AIAA's Flow Visualization honor (2019). Dr. Ling leads multiple NSF-funded projects and collaborates internationally through the PARIS (Parallel, Robust, Interface Simulator) consortium.
