معرفی
Andrew Bragg is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. His research focuses on turbulence and fluid dynamics with applications in environmental systems, including atmospheric and oceanic flows, sediment transport, and climate modeling.
Research Interests: His primary research areas include the physics and modeling of turbulence, theoretical and computational fluid dynamics, and applied mathematics. He investigates multiscale turbulent transport phenomena, especially in environmental contexts where unresolved scales challenge large-scale models. His work integrates statistical physics, high-performance computing, and collaboration with experimentalists.
The recent publications (2024–2023) reflect a strong trend in understanding turbulence across environmental and engineered systems. Key themes include particle and scalar transport in stratified and wall-bounded flows, bubble-induced turbulence, surfactant effects, Lagrangian modeling, and subgrid-scale parameterizations for climate models. The research spans fundamental fluid mechanics to applied environmental engineering, often using advanced computational and theoretical frameworks.
Scientific Awards:
- National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2021)
- EUROMECH Young Scientist Award (2017)
Advising and Grants: While specific students are not listed, Dr. Bragg has secured competitive funding, notably the NSF CAREER award, indicating active mentorship and research leadership.
