Research Focus
Asst. Prof. Dr. Uthai Prasopchingchana’s research is in computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer, with a recurring focus on high-order numerical schemes for natural-convection problems. He has developed and refined a Lagrange interpolating polynomial (LIP) scheme for the finite-volume and finite-difference methods, verified it against benchmark natural-convection and heat-conduction problems, and applied it to practical heat-transfer problems such as multi-layer furnace doors and enclosure/cavity flows. This is consistent with his listed expertise in CFD, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics.
