My research can be divided into two categories.

Thermal Power Engineering

Fundamental research on coal combustion

Heat and mass transfer in porous materials
Maceral and rank influences on coal/char reactivity
Three dimensional furnace combustion simulation
Fractal analysis on the irregular surface of porous materials

Applied research on the clean and efficient use of fossil fuels.

Combustion characteristics study on around 40 Chinese coals used in power plants located in central China, explore their influences on power plants
A database of coal combustion characteristics for central China electricity network administration bureau
Aerodynamic experiments in furnace
Ash fusion temperature prediction by using ANN (Artificial Neural Network)

Ph. D Thesis: Research on relationship of coal structure and combustion characteristics

Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management

Virtual Reality application in industry

Virtual Training
Physically based Virtual Reality
Virtual Environment construction

Provide a process description based methodology to effectively generate VEs;

Enhance the sense of realism of a VE by using Physically Based Behavior Modeling;

The ultimate goal is to develop a framework for effective construction of VEs for engineering design and analysis including physical experiments without the cost of physical setup and investment.

Networked VR

Internet Based Virtual Exhibition
Design of Virtual Reality application in industrial training-use of VRML for virtual PC assembly

Master Thesis: Effective construction of physically based virtual environments

Other interests

Combine above two fields, utilizing system design and modeling methodologies

End utility oriented energy strategy and energy system integration
Three dimensional data visualization
Fire simulation and virtual fire fighting
Thermal plants process visualization and optimization
