Krishnan Mahesh’s research focuses on simulating complex, multi-physics turbulent flows. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (Mumbai) in 1996 and obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. Mahesh is a Fulbright-Nehru Specialist Fellow and has received numerous prestigious awards, including the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation and the Francois N. Frenkiel Award from the American Physical Society. He is also a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute and has received several distinguished research honors at the University of Minnesota. His laboratory conducts research in the areas of computation, analysis, and modeling of turbulent flows, aiming to transform the role of simulations in the design and optimization of future Navy platforms. Mahesh's research group focuses on developing numerical methods, turbulence models, and simulation tools that are flexible enough to handle complex, multi-physics flows and engineering geometries, without compromising on the accuracy necessary to simulate turbulence effectively. The lab utilizes unstructured grids and massively parallel computing platforms, along with their own flagship software, MPCUGLES, to conduct simulations and analyze flow physics.
