Thesis Abstract:

My PhD research focuses on the numerical simulation of turbulent reacting multiphase flows, with an emphasis on developing efficient high-performance computing (HPC) approaches. The research investigates dynamic load balancing and GPU acceleration to improve the computational efficiency and scalability of complex flow simulations.
