Constrained large-eddy Simulation (CLES) method A Reynolds stress and heat flux CLES method has been proposed. It makes the pure LES of wall-bounded turbulent flows feasible on moderate grid and has been successfully applied to simulate many turbulent flows. The following figures shows the vorticity structures in flow past cylinders (left) and a commercial aircraft (right) are predicted by CLES method.
Continuous detonation engine (CDE) CDE has been studied experimentally, numerically and theoretically. Two seconds running of the designed combustor was achieved in experiments. The following figure depicts the propagation of multi-detonation fronts.

Theory on compressible turbulence Helmholtz decomposition technique is used to study the multi-scale and multi-process dynamics of compressible turbulence. The following figure shows the complicated structure in a compressible turbulent flow.
Transition of pipe flows with rough surfaces Stability analysis has been conducted for pipe flows with rough surface. A scaling form has been proposed for all flow states. The following figure indicates that the scaled friction factor measurements collapse onto a universal curve.
Structure ensemble dynamics (SED) theory SED theory has been developed, which emphasizes the Lie-group symmetry of the problem with a set of new concepts. The following figure demonstrates that the SED theory has accurate prediction for different flows.

Novel nondestructive testing method based on contact resonance of a piezoelectric cantilever We proposed a new nondestructive testing method/system based on the contact resonance of a piezoelectric unimorph cantilever, using local contact stiffness as the identification parameter. This method is more promising for NDT in composites and elastography in superficial organs/tissues.

2012).

Theory of surface stress and wetting transition for complex solid surfaces We examined in situ liquid-air interfaces on a submerged surface patterned with cylindrical micropores by confocal experiments, and showed that a metastable state dynamically involves, leading the wetting transition from a Cassie-Baxter to Wenzel state.

Redundant control and dynamic control allocation New problems from the redundant control on system performance have been studied. Necessary and sufficient condition of strict decreasing of the quadratic performance index when the columns of the input matrix are increased is established. Control allocation among redundant control inputs when there are uncertainties in the effective matrix or faults occur is presented.
