Tarun Sheel

Dr. Tarun Sheel is a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at Memorial University of Newfoundland. With a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Keio University, his research focuses on computational fluid dynamics, vortex methods, and high-performance computing techniques.

His expertise includes developing accelerated vortex methods using Fast Multipole Method (FMM) and special-purpose computers like MDGRAPE systems. Current research investigates scour reduction at bridge piers using RANS turbulence modeling and bluff body flow control. Additional work spans parallel mesh generation, fluid-structure interaction, and multiphase flow simulation.

Dr. Sheel's publications demonstrate consistent focus on computational acceleration techniques, with applications ranging from turbulent flow simulation to geotechnical problems like submarine landslides. His work integrates numerical analysis with hardware-specific optimizations for scientific computing.

Teaching responsibilities include calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and numerical methods across undergraduate and graduate levels at multiple institutions internationally.
