UC Berkeley Computational Fluid Dynamics Lab Welcome to the
UC Berkeley Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory
under the direction of Professor Philip Marcus.

Our studies are motivated by geophysics, astrophysics, physics and engineering. Our most recent research in geophysics and astrophysics has focused on:

Other problems that motivate our studies are more practical:

Our research on fluids is carried out with large scale computations using Spectral Methods, Deep Learning and Bayesian Optimization.

You can see examples of what our lab is working on in the Videos section of our website.
