RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Dr. Liburdy is primarily involved with experimental studies of fundamental
issues of turbulent flows, enhancement of transport properties by
complex flow structures, and high-speed droplet formation and aerodynamics.
Applications of this work include (i) high heat flux micro-electronic
cooling, (iii) high temperature gas turbine blade cooling systems,
(iv) micro-scale fluid flow systems for biological and chemical reactors
and ink-jet printing, (iv) multi-phase ejector systems, and environmental
control.
Dr. Liburdy's research has received support from Hewlett-Packard,
Xerox, Westinghouse, General Electric, AT&T, duPont, Maxfli,
and others from industry and from DARPA, DoE, NSF, NASA, and AFOSR.
