Research Interests: Dr Yi-Chao XIE’s research is mainly related to experimental study of fluid turbulence, especially thermally-driven turbulence. The current research topics include (1) heat transport in thermally-driven turbulence, (2) dynamics of coherent structures in turbulent flows (the large-scale circulation and plumes), (3) effects of roughness and (4) effects of polymer additives on thermally-driven turbulence.
