معرفی
Stephen B. Pope is the Sibley College Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Cornell University. His academic journey began at Imperial College London, where he earned a B.Sc. (1971), M.Sc. (1972), and Ph.D. (1976), followed by a D.Sc. from the University of London in 1986.
His research focuses on turbulent flows and turbulent combustion, with pioneering work in probability density function (PDF) models for reactive flows. He has advanced statistical modeling, direct numerical simulations, and combustion chemistry methodologies, including dimension-reduction techniques for combustion chemistry.
- Key publication: Turbulent Flows (2000 textbook)
- Recent work includes studies on turbulent mixing, three-stream jets, and LES/PDF modeling of hydrogen flames
Scientific accolades include:
- Zeldovich Gold Medal (Combustion Institute)
- Fluid Dynamics Prize (American Physical Society)
- 2012 Propellants and Combustion Award (AIAA)
- 2008 Excellence in Teaching Award (Cornell College of Engineering)
He has held leadership roles including Chair of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics (2006-07) and Program Co-Chair of the 31st International Combustion Symposium (2006).
