Kang’s research focuses on improving the understanding of environmental and energy-related fluid mechanics problems using supercomputer-based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. He has developed a versatile CFD model that solves 3D turbulent flowfield with the presence of arbitrarily complex geometries. The CFD model taking advantage of massively parallel supercomputers to enable simulations of large-scale environmental flows has been applied to simulate a wide range of challenging fluid mechanics problems such as turbulent flow and sediment transport in a river, turbulent free surface flows in open channels, and turbulent flow around energy-harnessing devices such as wind and hydrokinetic turbines. His current research areas of interest include: CFD-based optimization of energy devices such as wind/hydrokinetic turbines; study of turbulence mixing and pollutant transport in rivers, oceans and atmosphere; numerical modeling of atmospheric boundary layer flows; and CFD-based design of hydraulic structures.
