Kedar Chitale's Webpage

Welcome to my webpage. I am a PhD student at University of Colorado Boulder in Aerospace Engineering . I am currently working in PHASTA research group under Dr. Kenneth Jansen.

Some of my research interests are:

• Computational Fluid Dynamics
• Turbulence Computation
• Adaptive Mesh Generation
• High Performance Computing

My current research focuses on adaptive mesh generation. For a given flow domain, we create an unstructured mesh and solve Navier-Stokes equations to simulate the flow and heat transfer. Using some error indicators, we predict where the mesh needs to be refined or coarsened. Using mesh adaptation softwares, we adapt the mesh in the right areas, to get more accurate solution for the domain. We make use of supercomputers like Intrepid, Ranger, Jaguar, Janus to solve massively parallel applications.

Here is a short video of my advisor, explaining some of the work that we do in our research group!
