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

Jinge Wang has advanced to PhD candidacy in May 2023. Congratulations!

Our research group is focused on the fluid dynamics of vortices, waves, turbulence, and hydrodynamic stability. We use traditional analysis, CFD, and more recently Deep Learning and Bayesian Optimization.

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:

  • Mitigation of dangerous wake vortices shed from aircraft
  • Shape optimization using morphing
  • Bayesian optimization

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.
