Research Interest

Professor Shan Xiaowen made an important contribution to the development and application of the lattice Boltzmann method. The Shan-Chen model named after his surname is widely used to simulate the dark energy from the fuel cell to the universe. Another important contribution in this field is the discovery of the theoretical link between the lattice Boltzmann method and the continuum mechanics, which makes it possible to deal with compressible flow and non-Navier Stokes flow. Because of his outstanding work, Professor was elected in 2009 as the American Physical Society Fellow (Fellow, American Physical Society). In addition, Professor Shan in plasma physics, magnetic fluid dynamics, turbulence in the field of computer simulation have made outstanding achievements.
