  • Thermal Systems
  • Numerical Methods

Dr. Will Schreiber has studied thermal-fluid problems associated with environmental, materials and combustion applications. His latest efforts have been directed toward modeling liquid jets and liquid sheets mathematically in an effort to understand instabilities leading to breakup. He has recently investigated the formation of patterns in a liquid sheet flowing from a slot.

Schreiber is also studying the dispersion of hydrogen as a means of understanding hydrogen safety related to hydrogen-powered vehicles.
