Dale I. Pullin

Robert H. Goddard Professor of Aeronautics
B.Sc., University of Melbourne, 1966; B.E., University of Sydney, 1968; Ph.D., Imperial College of Science and Technology, University of London, 1974. Visiting Associate, Caltech, 1990; Professor, 1991-2006, von Karman Professor, 2006-2017; Goddard Professor, 2017-.

Research interests: computational and theoretical fluid mechanics, vortex dynamics, compressible flow and shock dynamics, turbulence, large-eddy simulation of turbulent flows

Overview

Several active research areas at present; (1) development of large-eddy simulation for high-Reynolds number wall-bounded turbulent flow, particularly bluff-body flows, (2) shock-driven flows in both fluids and solids, (3)  development of new numerical methods for the solution of the Boltzman equation.
