Detailed Information for Idir Azouz

My areas of research include turbulent flow modeling, drag-reducing fluids, and the development numerical grid generation schemes.  However, my research also extends to pedagogical issues.  In addition, I have reviewed several books and more than one hundred publications, and have served as session chair in several conferences.

The following are some of my publications and presentations at conferences:
