Computational modeling
of turbulent mixing allows
detailed fundamental understanding of
fluid-mechanical
processes. See the turbulence
research page for more details.

Research Programs
While it is impossible to categorize our broadly-varying research, we have organized into six Research Programs, which serve as the structure for admissions and qualifying exam processes.

Researchers at Cornell
have demonstrated the first
3-D self-replicating robots.
