Dr. Archambault’s research interests primarily lie in the field of propulsion and combustion, with special emphasis on rocket engine applications. Specific areas of interest include fuel injector modeling (gas and liquid), injector/chamber compatibility, multi-phase fluid flow, spray and particulate dynamics, combustion efficiency, rocket engine performance analysis, electric and laser propulsion, and solid rocket motors. Other general areas of interest are combustion modeling, fluid dynamics, turbulence, and aerodynamics. Dr. Archambault makes extensive use of computational modeling in his work, and is therefore also heavily engaged in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) on both the application and theory sides of the field.
