Biography

Associate Professor at University of Rochester
Research
Douglas
Kelley
Rochester, New York
I study the space- and time-dynamics of fluid flows and the materials being mixed in them, with a variety of applications. I'm interested in how the performance of liquid metal batteries, an emerging technology for grid-scale energy storage, depends on transport in their liquid layers. I'm interested in how ecological dynamics of marine phytoplankton depend on mixing by ocean currents. I'm interested in how Earth's magnetic field arises out of mixing and waves in our planet's outer core. And I'm interested in the fundamental physics of mixing, particularly Lagrangian Coherent Structures.

Associate Professor
Douglas worked at University of Rochester as a Associate Professor
Yale University
Postdoctoral Associate
- Separated stretching and folding, essential processes for fluid mixing, by calculating the non-affine deformation of material areas in two-dimensional flow measurements.
- Designed and constructed electromagnetically forced thin-layer cell for studying two-dimensional fluid flow in laboratory experiments, focused on relating topological features to bulk statistics.
- Guided first-year graduate student in design of three-dimensional turbulence cell for high-speed particle tracking in 250 L of water stirred by dual impellers driven by variable speed 11 kW three-phase induction motors.University of Maryland
Graduate Research Assistant
- Identified inertial modes and showed that over-reflection at a shear layer predicts onset and mode selection.
- Operated a high-speed, dually-rotating spherical cell containing 110 kg of liquid sodium to study planetary dynamos and hydromagnetics in the laboratory.
- Designed and constructed pair of liquid-cooled electromagnets, 100 kg each, sourcing 1000 A and producing fields up to 600 G.University of New Haven
