CAMPhyRe welcomes a new student, Travis Bowman to the mix. Travis will use machine learning to study particle motion in turbulent flows. Learn more about Travis and the rest of our crew here, Personnel .

The group received a $10 k allocation from NASA via the Virginia Space Grant Consortium for a project titled "Predicting motion of engine-ingested ice using machine learning"
I decided a few weeks ago that we need a new name for a research group. That's why we had a contest to come up with a new name for the group. The best idea, came from student Meha Setiya. Based on her work, we've come up with a new name: Combustion, Atomization, & Multiphase Physics Research Group or CAMPhyRe group. This name is much better than Palmore Research Group for two reasons. First, it does a much better job of describing what type of research we do here. Secondly, the acronym is quite cool. Pronounced like campfire, CAMPhyRe is the perfect name for any group who does combustion research.
The research group had its first annual end of year of party at the Mellow Mushroom. Virginia is currently on Phase I reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic. So we decided to celebrate as best we could given the circumstances.
Congratulations on a great year of work, everyone! Meha and Cairen presented at the Eastern States Sections of the Combustion Institute bi-annual conference. Meha presented her paper, Method to study effect of straining flow on droplet vaporization at low Reynolds number, and Cairen presented, High Stokes Number Droplets in Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulent Flow.
Congratulations to both of you. The Palmore Research Group has added two new students. Cairen Miranda is a MS majoring in Aerospace and Ocean Engineering and Michelle Fike is an Undergraduate Computer Engineering Major.
The Palmore Research Group welcomes two new students.
Meha Setiya is a PhD student developing novel methods for simulating turbulent spray combustion. Meha brings with her four years of experience as a design engineer at Cummins Turbo Technologies and Garrett Advancing Motion Duncan Young is an undergrad studying advanced techniques for error analysis in computational codes. Our group was just granted 1 million core-hours of computational resources on Cascades! These resources were granted for our project, Resolved Simulations of Turbulent Liquid-Gas Flows. Cascades is a general purpose super computer equipped with 190 Intel-Broadwell CPU nodes as well as 40 Intel-Skylake/Nvidia-V100 hybrid CPU/GPU nodes. Housed at Virginia Tech's Advanced Research Computing Center, Cascades went online in 2016. |
