Hansol Wee studies the physics of fluids, focusing on how liquid sheets, jets, and thin filaments break apart, pinch off, or coalesce, especially when surface properties like surfactants or surface viscosity are involved. This work combines mathematical modeling and simulation to understand fine-scale fluid behavior relevant to processes like spraying, coating, and droplet formation. The research is fundamental and computational/theoretical in nature, aimed at explaining and predicting singular events in fluid flow.
