CGrADS Site Visit Participant - Victor Udoewa

Educational Background

• HSPVA diploma, salutatorian, 1995
• Harvard University S.B., Mechanical Engineering, 1999

Research Experience:

Computational Fluid Dynamics, Iterative Methods, Mesh Moving Methods, Better Boundary Layer Resolution. I am doing work to find new and better ways to attempt mesh moving and even researching alternatives to mesh moving. Simultaneously I am looking at new ways to increase boundary layer resolution numerically. And I am also looking at iterative methods.
