Research Summary

Dr. Cizmas is actively conducting research in propulsion, aeroelasticity, and fluid dynamics. His research interests concentrate on numerical simulation of steady and unsteady transport phenomena, fluid-solid interaction, combustion, and computational fluid dynamics. He is using a wide spectrum of techniques to improve the accuracy and efficiency of his numerical simulations, including new analytical methods, massively parallel processing, and reduced order models based on time linearization or proper orthogonal decomposition. These numerical methods coupled with experimental work have been applied to predict the aeroelastic effects in wind turbines and turbomachinery, unsteady effects in combustors and afterburners, and in hydraulic fracturing.
