Xiong Liu

Dr. Xiong Liu is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Wollongong's School of Mechanical, Materials, Mechatronic and Biomedical Engineering. His research focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), particularly in areas such as CO2 pipeline safety, gas decompression modeling, wind turbine dynamics, and environmental risk assessment. He specializes in analyzing fluid flow, heat, and mass transfer phenomena using advanced computational methods.

Dr. Liu's work combines experimental studies with numerical simulations to address challenges in energy systems, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen-natural gas mixtures, and wind energy infrastructure. He has contributed to projects like the CO2Safe-Arrest full-scale pipeline burst tests and studies on dynamic stall effects in wind turbines.

His research interests span CFD modeling of gas dynamics, quantitative risk assessment for industrial pipelines, and the environmental consequences of gas releases. He actively supervises postgraduate students in relevant fields and collaborates on international projects. Notable outputs include studies on CO2 dispersion patterns, pipeline failure consequences, and turbine blade aerodynamics.
