Dr. Im is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering here at KAUST. Hong Im’s research interests are primarilyfundamental and practical aspects of combustion and power generation devices using high-fidelity computational modeling. Current research activities include direct numerical simulation of turbulent combustion at extreme conditions, large eddy simulations of turbulent flames at high pressure, modeling of low grade and alternative fuels, spray and combustion modeling in advanced internal combustion engines, advanced models for soot formation, and electrical field effects on flames.
