About the Lab

Professor Tae-Ho Ko's research lab specializes in theoretical and computational chemical kinetics, with a strong focus on high-temperature reaction dynamics and elementary gas-phase reactions. The lab investigates fundamental reaction mechanisms involving atomic species such as hydrogen, deuterium, and oxygen atoms reacting with small molecules like ammonia, nitrous oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and benzene across a wide temperature range. Using advanced kinetic modeling and theoretical simulations, the group aims to determine rate coefficients and understand the dynamics of these reactions under conditions relevant to combustion, atmospheric chemistry, and plasma processes. The work combines quantum chemical calculations with experimental validation to provide insights into reaction pathways and transition states.

Lift-off of a single particle in Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids by direct numerical simulation
Neelesh A. Patankar, P. Y. Huang, Tae-Ho Ko, D. D. Joseph
SJR Q1Journal of Fluid Mechanics

In this paper we study the lift-off to equilibrium of a single circular particle in Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids by direct numerical simulation. A particle heavier than the fluid is driven forward on the bottom of a channel by a plane Poiseuille flow. After a certain critical Reynolds number, the particle rises from the wall to an equilibrium height at which the buoyant weight just balances the upward thrust from the hydrodynamic force. The aim of the calculation is the determination of the

Choi & Joseph (2001) reported a two-dimensional numerical investigation of the lift-off of 300 circular particles in plane Poiseuille flows of Newtonian fluids. We perform similar simulations. Particles heavier than the fluid are initially placed in a closely packed ordered configuration at the bottom of a periodic channel. The fluid–particle mixture is driven by an external pressure gradient. The particles are suspended or fluidized by lift forces that balance the buoyant weight perpendicul

SJR Q1PLoS ONEOA

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an ageing-related neurodegenerative disease characterized and diagnosed by deposition of insoluble amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques in the brain. The plaque accumulation in the brain directly affects reduced levels of Aβ in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood, as Aβ can freely transport the blood-brain barrier, and clinical investigations have suggested these two biofluids as promising samples for in vitro diagnosis. Given that the human eye structurally resembles the brain and

Modeling of the Liquid Rocket Engine Transients

ABSTRACT A program aiming at predicting dynamic characteristics of a Liquid Rocket Engine(LRE) was developed and examined to trace entire LRE operation. In the st artup period, transient characteristics of the propellant flows were predicted and validated with hydraulic tests data. An arrangement of each component for the pipelines was based on an operating circuit of open cycle LRE. The flow rate ratio for the gas generator and the main chamber was determined to mimic that of real open cycle LR

High-temperature photochemistry kinetics study of the reaction H + NO2 yields OH + NO from 296 to 760 k. (Reannouncement with new availability information)
Tae-Ho Ko, Arthur Fontijn
OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information)

Rate coefficients for the H + NO2 yields OH + NO reaction have been measured by using the high-temperature photochemistry (HTP) technique. H atoms are generated by flash photolysis of CH4, and their relative concentration is monitored by time-resolved resonance-fluorescence detection. The data are well-fitted by the empirical expression k(T) = 2.2 X 10-10 exp(-182 K/T) cm3/molecule for the 296-760 K temperature range. The precision of the data is 7%, and the accuracy is estimated to be 21%, wher
