CURRENTLY ACTIVE RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS
SHANGHAI JIAO TONG UNIVERSITY
Shanghai Jiao Tong University. This research activity, involving Dr. Ligrani, is in collaboration with Professor Yu Rao and associated graduate students from the Institute of Turbomachinery, School of Mechanical Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, which is located within the P. R. China. Of interest are turbulent flow heat transfer and pressure loss over surfaces with dense micro-depth dimples as these are present beneath the viscous sublayer of a turbulent boundary layer. NOTE THAT COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH EFFORTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE P.R. CHINA WERE ENDED IN 2021 DUE TO CONCERNS REGARDING INTERACTIONS WITH INDIVIDUALS FROM THIS COUNTRY.
