BIO
Jeff Marshall is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the NSF-funded Smart Grid IGERT Program at the University of Vermont. Professor Marshall studies the mechanics of incompressible fluids and particulate flows, with applications to energy, biological and aerospace systems. His technical focus is on modeling of three-dimensional vortex flows and on the dynamics of flows containing adhesive particles. Some of the application areas of his recent work include modeling of multi-species biofilm dynamics, microalgae growth processes in turbulent flow, automated dust removal from solar panels, oscillatory diffusion (a new diffusion process for particulates in a porous media in the presence of acoustics), and turbine wake vortex interactions in wind farms.
Area(s) of expertise
Fluid mechanics and particulate flows, Renewable energy (wind energy, algae biofuels, solar panel dust mitigation), Complex systems, Vortex dynamics and vortex-structure interaction, Biofluid flows, Lagrangian and multiscale, computational methods, Thin-film flows
