Dr. Liu’s research focuses on interdisciplinary approaches at the intersection of fluid dynamics, nonlinear dynamical systems, control theory, and turbulence. His work emphasizes reduced-order models for complex flows, including wall-bounded shear flows, hydrodynamic stability, flow control, double-diffusive convection, porous medium flows, and shallow water waves. He explores fluid-structure interactions and employs advanced analytical and computational methods like input-output analysis and data-driven modeling.
Research Trends: His recent articles highlight innovations in turbulence transition mechanisms, convective instabilities in porous media, and feedback-driven control strategies for boundary layers. He investigates how external factors like wall suction or wavy topographies influence flow stability and transition dynamics.
Awards:
- Corrsin-Kovasznay Outstanding Paper Award
Labs/Teams: While no specific lab name is mentioned, his work aligns with UConn’s focus on fluid dynamics and interdisciplinary engineering research.
