The Department of Mathematical Sciences is pleased to share the recent publication by Associate Professor Alexander Labovsky. Alex wrote “Defect Correction Methods for Fluid Flows at High Reynolds Numbers“, which was published July 16, 2025, through Chapman & Hall.
Alex was also celebrated on March 13, 2026 at the Michigan Tech Author’s Reception in the Van Pelt and Opie Library.
“Defect Correction Methods for Fluid Flows at High Reynold’s Numbers” presents the mathematical development of defect correction methods (DCM) in application to fluid flow problems in various settings. It shows several approaches to applying the DCM ideas in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) – from a basic idea of controlling the flow by the means of increased diffusion, to the state-of-the-art family of novel, DCM-based turbulence models.
Congratulations on your accomplishment, Alex!
