Pete J. Diamessis

Pete J. Diamessis is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Cornell University. His research focuses on two main themes: the development of high-accuracy and high-resolution spectral quadrilateral subdomain penalty techniques for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, which aim to provide realistic approximations of environmental flow processes, and the application of these techniques as a driver for high-resolution simulations. His work is conducted within the Duffield Engineering Menu at Cornell University.

Peter Diamessis is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University, specializing in stratified flows, turbulence, internal waves, computational mathematics, and spectral methods. His research focuses on the dynamics of stratified turbulent flows, including the interaction of internal waves with boundary layers and the simulation of high Reynolds number stratified turbulence. He investigates phenomena such as vorticity structure, turbulent/non-turbulent interfaces, and the nonlinear generation of harmonics in stratified flows. His work also explores the impact of internal solitary waves on sediment transport and bed failure, as well as the use of spectral methods for modeling complex fluid dynamics. Diamessis's research contributes to understanding the behavior of stratified flows in both natural and engineered systems.
