Dr. Renwei Mei received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1990. He joined the University of Florida in 1990 as faculty member. Dr. Mei is currently a Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida.
Dr. Mei has engaged in research in the areas of multi-phase flow and computational fluid dynamics. Some of his research topics include theoretical and computational analyses of the equation of motions of particle and bubbles at finite Reynolds number in fluid flows, dispersion and collision of particles in turbulent flows, nucleation, growth and departure of vapor bubbles near the heating surface, simulation of dense powder flows, desalination, the development of lattice Boltzmann method as efficient computational method for fluid flow and heat transfer, hydrogen production using water-splitting looping process, solar thermalchemical fuel production via non-volatile iron looping process. His research works are highly cited. Dr. Mei is recently named Pao Yu-Kong Chair Professor in the College of Energy Engineering at Zhejiang University. He has been on editorial board of Acta Mechanics Sinica since 2008.
講座內容：
Lattice Boltzmann method has emerged as an efficient alternative computational method for solving fluid flow and heat transfer problems. It has its unique advantages due to its simplicity in algorithm, parallelization, and handling of complex geometry. In this talk, the basic principles of as well as recent progress in the lattice Boltzmann method will be briefly reviewed. Boundary conditions on curved geometry for momentum and thermal distribution functions are highlighted. Conjugate heat and mass transfer involving complex geometry of different properties will be discussed. Application to the computation of effective thermal conductivity of porous structure will be presented.
