Pengtao Sun

Pengtao Sun's primary research fields are Numerical Analysis and Scientific and Engineering Computing. His recent research interests focus on anisotropic adaptive finite element methods for dealing with large-scale and multi-scale phenomena, e.g., a complex physical system bearing boundary layers or sharp interfaces in an irregular multidimensional domain with complex boundary conditions. Some involved projects which are typically related to this direction are astronomy-black hole binary system, renewable energy-fuel cell dynamics, fluid dynamics-thin film flow, Navier-Stokes-Darcy coupling flow, and etc. Currently, modeling and numerical studies for fuel cell dynamics are his main research interest, for which he is dedicated in developing an integrated multiphysics fuel cell model in the numerical efficiency's point of view, and designing the efficient and robust numerical methods and software.
