Yongmann Chung

Yongmann Chung is an Associate Professor at the School of Engineering, University of Warwick. His research focuses on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), turbulence modeling, and flow control with applications in aerospace engineering and electrochemistry. He specializes in Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of complex flows, including micro-fluid dynamics in electrochemical systems and drag reduction strategies. His work spans unsteady turbulent flows, heat transfer, and aerodynamic phenomena in systems like flying cars and quadcopters.

Teaching interests include fluid mechanics (ES2A7), computational fluid dynamics (ES440), and scientific computing (MA5P9). Recent publications explore battery health prediction using graph neural networks, vortex ring state analysis, and computational models for droplet dispersion in public spaces. Chung’s research also addresses industrial challenges such as cavitation erosion monitoring and turbulent flow control via Lorentz force actuation.

Office hours are Fridays 10 am–12 pm during term time. He advises projects and grants in fluid dynamics and thermal engineering, with a focus on both fundamental turbulence research and applied energy systems. His work extends to bio-inspired design, exemplified by studies on dolphin kick swimmers, and environmental health modeling for airborne disease transmission.
