Fabian Waleffe is a Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, holding joint appointments in the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Engineering Physics. His research primarily focuses on turbulence in fluid flows and the relationship between turbulence and exact coherent states. He has developed the Self-Sustaining Process theory for shear flows and provided an ab initio method to discover families of three-dimensional traveling wave solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in canonical shear flows, including plane Couette flow and Poiseuille pipe flows under mixed boundary conditions. His work has significant implications for understanding the dynamics of turbulent flows, including geophysical flows and computational methods for solving partial differential equations.
