Yufeng Yao is currently a Professor in Aerospace Engineering and the Head of Engineering Modelling and Simulation (EMS) Research Group. His research explores fundamental flow physics by using high-fidelity simulation code (DNS and LES) and engineering turbulent flow problems by using industry standard computer code (RANS and URANS). His research interests include interconnected research themes, including turbulent wake dynamics, turbulent boundary layers, and laminar transition to turbulence in the shock-induced separation bubbles, among others.
