Two postdoctoral researcher positions and one Ph.D. position are available in the Multiphase Fluid-Structure Interaction Lab in Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School. The postdoc will assist the PI (Prof. Shunxiang Cao) in tasks associated with the high-performance simulations of multiphase fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems, including bubbly flow modeling, development of efficient fluid-structure coupling algorithms, development of high-performance fluid-structure coupled solver, and reinforcement-learning-based control of FSI.

In this paper a geometric field theory of dislocation dynamics and finite plasticity in single crystals is formulated. Starting from the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and plastic parts, we use Cartan's moving frames to describe the distorted lattice structure via differential 1-forms. In this theory the primary fields are the dislocation fields, defined as a collection of differential 2-forms. The defect content of the lattice structure is then determined by the superposition of the dislocation fields.
