Biography

Dr. John Palmore Jr leads the Combustion, Atomization, Multiphase, & Particulate Physics Research & Education (CAMP-PhyRE) group at the University of Washington. CAMP-PhyRE studies a wide range of problems in the energy and the environment sectors. The unifying tread of the research is a focus on multiphase flows, i.e., fluid flows of bubbles, droplets, and particles in a carrier fluid. CAMP-PhyRE deploys a wide range of strategies to study multiphase flows including mathematical analysis, an in-house high fidelity numerical solver, commercial computational fluid dynamics packages, and open-source machine learning tools. CAMP-PhyRE currently has open projects in spray & droplet combustion for aviation engines, environmental dust & ice particle ingestion in aviation engines, and hydroacoustic methods for invasive fish species deterrence.
