Dr. Van Thuan Hoang received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2025 from the University of Adelaide, Australia. He is currently working as a researcher in the research group led by Prof. Maziar Arjomandi. Dr. Hoang’s research focuses on fluid dynamics, specifically turbulent boundary layers. It aims to deepen our understanding of the effect of turbulence on engineering applications, providing guidelines for low-cost structural designs and skin-friction drag reduction. This can improve the efficiency of various engineering applications, such as solar panels, heliostats, wind turbines, aircraft, ships, and pipe-line systems.

  • Renewable energy (Solar energy, wind turbines, and etc.)
  • Atmospheric dynamics (Atmospheric boundary layers, wind and temperature profiles, and etc.)
  • Aerodynamics (turbulent boundary layer control, skin-friction drag reduction, and etc.)
