Xiaolin Li
Professor, Ph.D., 1987
Columbia University: Computational Applied Mathematics
Xiaolin Li's major research objective is to design and implement a high resolution
numerical method, the front tracking method, for the study of fluid interface instabilities
such as the Rayleigh-Taylor instability and the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. His
research has involved collaborations with scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory,
Argonne National Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory and the software has
been used for research of various scientific problems such as the inertial confinement
fusion and the study of fuel injection nozzle.
