Origin of Turbulence

Dr. Hua-Shu Dou received his Ph.D. from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1991. Then, he worked at Tsinghua University, The University of Sydney, and National University of Singapore from 1991 to 2011. Since 2011, he is a chair professor at Zhejiang Sci-Tech University. His researches focused on flow instability and turbulent transition, computational fluid dynamics, combustion and detonation, turbomachinery, non-Newtonian flow and multiphase flows, etc. He holds more than 160 published papers and one co-authored book published by Springer. He is an AIAA associate fellow and Member of APS and ASME.
