Research Interests
- Professor Pitsch's main research interests are in computational
energy sciences. This includes combustion theory, modeling of
turbulent reacting flows with large-eddy simulations, theoretic
and experimental research in fuel cells, development and analysis
of chemical kinetic reaction mechanisms, modeling of pollutant
formation, development of numerical methods, investigation and
modeling of combustion instabilities, and model applications to
modern aircraft engine combustion, reciprocating engine combustion,
and chemical processing.
