Abstract

This article presents the research profile of Asghar Noormohammadi, an engineering researcher at the University of Waterloo, in connection with the Innovative Research Award. His recent work examines how wall permeability affects stratified turbulent boundary layers [1], how localized friction disrupts self-similarity [2], and how large eddy simulation models perform in open channel turbulent flows [3].

Keywords

Turbulent flow, open channel flow, boundary layer, wall permeability, self-similarity, large eddy simulation, scalar field, fluid mechanics.

Introduction

Turbulence remains one of the central challenges of classical physics and engineering. Understanding how turbulent flows respond to changes in surface conditions, such as friction or permeability, is relevant to hydraulic engineering, environmental flows and the development of reliable numerical models. Asghar Noormohammadi’s publications address these questions through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. His Scopus author record lists nine documents [5], and his ORCID record includes recent journal articles, a working paper and a conference contribution.

His work covers the following themes:

  • Stratified and permeable-wall turbulent boundary layers
  • Self-similarity and friction effects in scalar fields
  • Evaluation of large eddy simulation in open channel flows

Research Contributions

In a 2026 article in AIP Advances, Noormohammadi investigated the response of a stratified turbulent boundary layer to wall permeability in open channel flow, a configuration relevant to flows over porous beds [1].

In collaboration with Ronald Barron and Ram Balachandar, he studied the effect of localized friction on the disruption of self-similarity, published in Physics of Fluids [2].
