Jordan Wilson

Jordan Wilson is an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Lipscomb University's College of Engineering. He holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Lipscomb University, followed by an M.S. and Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Colorado State University. His research focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications in water treatment systems and environmental systems, including surface water modeling and hydraulic efficiency analysis. Wilson has also worked as a consulting water resources engineer, contributing to projects involving treatment plant hydraulics and hydrologic modeling.

Education:

• B.S. Mechanical Engineering, Lipscomb University
• M.S. Civil and Environmental Engineering, Colorado State University
• Ph.D. Civil and Environmental Engineering, Colorado State University

Wilson's research interests emphasize CFD-driven solutions for environmental challenges, such as optimizing water treatment systems and analyzing wind turbine wake interactions. His work spans hydraulic modeling, turbulent mixing in atmospheric boundary layers, and post-wildfire ecosystem assessment. He has collaborated on projects ranging from small public water systems to large-scale renewable energy infrastructure.

Publications reflect a trajectory from foundational turbulence modeling (e.g., RANS approaches) to applied CFD in water and energy systems. Recent foci include secondary clarifier design and small-scale disinfection efficiency, while earlier work addressed wind turbine aerodynamics and wildfire impacts on habitats.
