Dr. Zhou is interested in numerical simulation and theoretical analysis of multiphase flow. His recent research has focused on bubbles and liquid film flow, with the former covering topics including Taylor bubbles, bubble plumes, and microbubbles, and the latter covering the dynamics of surface waves on the liquid film, as well as the associated heat and mass transfer process.
