Research Interests

Professor Mungal conducts research on mixing and chemical reactions in subsonic and supersonic turbulent flows, liquid flows in microchannels, flame stabilization and propagation, drag reduction of bluff bodies and drag reduction with polymer addition. He is the author of over 50 papers in these areas. He has won several teaching and advising awards including Stanford's Tau Beta Pi award for excellence in undergraduate teaching, and the School of Engineering Distinguished Advisor Award. Professor Mungal previously served as director of the High Temperature Gasdynamics Laboratory and Associate Chair for Student Services where he directed ABET accreditation efforts. He is currently the Resident Fellow at Rinconada, a Stanford freshman dorm. He is a member of the ASME, the APS, the Combustion Institute, and an Associate Fellow of the AIAA.
