Dr. Im’s research centers on the development and utilization of high-fidelitycomputational modeling simulations as predictive tools to unravel the fundamentalphysics of laminar and turbulent combustion phenomena encountered in practicalpower generation systems. Ongoing research investigations with the CRFL teaminclude combustion characteristics of high hydrogen content fuels; advanced modelingof sooting flames; modeling of mixed-mode combustion in modern engines; dynamics ofturbulent premixed flame propagation; turbulent flame stabilization; spray- and particle-laden flows and combustion; plasma and electric field effects on flames; andcombustion of low-grade fuels.
