Nomura Lab
Devin is currently doing research with Professor Keiko Nomura at the University of California, San Diego for a Master's Thesis. He is currently investigating the stability properties of a Laminar 2D Wake in both an unconfined, semi-confined, and confined configuration. He is using Nek5000, an Open-Source Direct Numerical Simulation CFD software to solve the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations.
Semi-Confined Laminar Wake
Semi-Confined Laminar Wake
A video showing a similation result for a semi-confined laminar 2D wake. This is the primary flow that Devin is studying for his Master's thesis.
Confined Laminar Jet
Confined Laminar Jet
A video showing some simulation results for a confined laminar 2D jet. Due to the complexities of the 3 instabilities present in the jet flow, this flow was not further studied.
