Welcome to
the Multiphase
Transport Lab (MTL) under
the direction of Dr. Ben Xu in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
Our
research focuses on developing novel numerical and experimental techniques to
investigate the multiphase transport phenomenon in thermal fluidic systems.
Current research focuses on multiphase heat transfer in porous structures,
heat transfer modeling of Selective Laser Melting process, and bubble/jet
generation/form in Bio3D printing. Interested in
joining us?
I am
looking for highly motivated students (undergraduate and graduate), who are
passionate about energy applications and applied numerical heat
transfer/fluid mechanics. Do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested
in learning more about our works. |
