About

Lulu Han is a rising researcher in computational fluid dynamics and bio-inspired hydrodynamics, with a focus on understanding how animals move through water. Her most cited work, "A numerical study on the hydrodynamics of a swimming crocodile model" (2024), has already garnered 7 citations, signaling early impact in the field. In this study, Han employs advanced CFD simulations on a simplified 3D model of *Crocodylus siamensis* to unravel the propulsion mechanisms behind a cruising crocodile’s undulating body motion. By quantifying flow patterns and forces, she reveals how these ancient reptiles achieve efficient aquatic locomotion—insights that could inspire novel designs for underwater vehicles or robotic swimmers. Han’s work bridges biomechanics and engineering, offering a fresh perspective on animal-inspired propulsion. As a young scholar, her meticulous numerical approach and ability to translate biological complexity into actionable data mark her as a promising voice in fluid dynamics. Her research not only deepens our understanding of crocodilian movement but also opens doors for biomimetic innovation, making her a researcher to watch in the years ahead.
