A/Prof. Gregory J Sheard
Director, The Sheard Lab, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Research Interests: My research lies at the intersection between magnetohydrodynamic flows, rotating flows, and natural convection. My group is currently
investigating heat transport and enhancement in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) duct flows; quasi-two-dimensionalisation of MHD flows; natural convection flows - specifically
horizontally driven convection flows, their stability, and the scaling at high Rayleigh number; the application and development of high-order methods for
computational fluid dynamics (including spectral-element methods); bluff-body flows and the associated wake dynamics and instabilities; and linear & non-linear
stability analysis of these flows.
