Xiao Xiong

I am currently a PhD candidate under the supervision of Dr. Aziz and Dr. Yan. I earned my B.Eng in petroleum engineering from South West Petroleum University (SWPU) in China and MASc. in oil and gas engineering from Memorial University of Newfoundland.

Research Interests

CFD applications to Multi-phase flow, Turbulence characterization, and Non-Newtonian rheology
