معرفی
Feng Gao is a Visiting Senior Lecturer at the University of Surrey’s School of Mechanical Engineering Sciences, affiliated with the Rolls-Royce UTC in Thermo-Fluid Systems. He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from École Centrale de Lyon (2014) and a BEng in Civil Aviation Engineering from Beihang University (2008). His research focuses on advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling, particularly large-eddy simulation (LES) of complex flows in turbomachinery, buoyancy-driven convection, and turbine rim sealing mechanisms.
His work addresses challenges in predicting turbulent flows in gas turbine internal systems, including rotor-stator disc cavities, centrifugal buoyancy effects, and inertial wave dynamics. Key contributions include validation of wall-modeled LES for turbine seal performance and analysis of Ekman layer scrubbing in rotating systems. He has collaborated on projects involving numerical simulations of corner separation in compressors and unsteady flow phenomena in turbine rim seals.
Publications span topics such as CFD model comparisons, heat transfer scaling in rotating cavities, and turbulence closure models. His research emphasizes bridging computational methods with experimental validation to improve turbine efficiency and thermal management.
