Oliver B Fringer

Assistant Professor
Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Hydrology
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Stanford University

Ph.D. Civil and Environmental Engineering, Stanford University, 2003

M.S. Aeronautics and Astronautics, Stanford University, 1996
B.S.E. Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Princeton University, 1995


My research group focuses on the application of numerical models and parallel computing to the study of laboratory- and field-scale environmental flows. We work on the development and implementation of the parallel, unstructured-grid, Navier-Stokes solver SUNTANS, with application to internal wave dynamics, coastal ocean circulation, and sediment transport. We also employ an adaptive mesh refinement Navier-Stokes code and a parallel large-eddy simulation Navier-Stokes code to study turbulent flow physics related to sediment transport, internal waves and mixing, and coherent structures in rivers and estuaries.

Where will high-resolution ocean modeling be in 2025?...
