California Friends Laboratory of Computational Fluid Dynamics.
Dr. Moshe Rosenfeld.
The CFD Lab was established in 1992 by Profs. Moti Sokolov, Shmuel Einav, Moshe Rosenfeld and Leonid Shtilman. It is headed now by Prof. Moshe Rosenfeld. The lab facilities give the computational environment for performing computational research in fluid flow, heat transfer and bio-engineering. The lab is used both as a research as a teaching lab for undergraduate and graduate students.
Computational Systems Laboratory.
Crystal growth modeling laboraory.
M.Sc and PhD students, faculty members Prof. Gelfgat Alexander Click here for Lab's Website
This is newly established laboratory whose purpose is to model flows of melts of materials during bulk crystal growth processes. Laboratory has two experimental setups that mimic melt flows in Czochralski growth of optical and dielectric crystals. Melt flow instabilities are studied by measuring temperature fluctuations and by visualizing the flow using different optical techniques.

The experimental work conducted in the environmental engineering laboratory covers several topics related to basic transport phenomena and to different treatment technologies. These include: Separation processes, mainly liquid-liquid extraction for removal of organic pollutants and/or heavy metals. In particular, continuous and batch Phase Transition Extraction (PTE); application of PTE to treatment of industrial waste water, contaminated soil and sediments. Transport phenomena associated with phase transition of partially miscible solvent systems (e.g., free convection, forced convection).
Liquid-liquid two-phase flow, concurrent and countercurrent flows with and without phase transition, two-phase flow phenomena in small diameter tubes. Wind tunnel that simulates velocity profiles in the earth boundary layer for studying pollutants dispersion in the atmosphere.
Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and advanced oxidation processes (AOP) of target microorganisms and chemicals intended to improve water-quality through experimental and theoretical work. Particle shape from the nano to micron scale in waters, effluents and natural water bodies undergoing various treatments such as granular and membrane filtration, polychromatic UV disinfection and AOP processes.

Due to their lower than in the bulk coordination (atomic bonding), atoms at solid surfaces exhibit properties different from those of bulk solids. The main experimental set-up in the "Surface Science & Nanostructures" laboratory, is an ultra-high vacuum (UHV, P=1E-10 mbar) microlab, where we prepare and explore crystal surfaces, for atomic resolution studies. Such a high vacuum is required to prevent adsorption of atoms and molecules from the atmosphere onto the clean surfaces under investigation. These surfaces can be of insulating, semiconducting, or metallic materials. Sometimes the surfaces themselves are the subject of studies, however on most occasions they merely serve as substrates for deposition and growth of epitaxial layers of other materials on top of them. Interactions between layer's and substrate's atoms across their mutual interface, create yet another different environment, and allow, for example, for self-assembled and/or self-organized growth of variously sized and shaped nanostructures. The nanostructures are fascinating not only from a purely scientific point of view, but present an attractive alternative to contemporary devices - they are candidates to replace the lithographically prepared ones in a not too distant future. Our UHV microlab is equipped with a variety of growth sources and analytical tools and techniques, ideally suited for growing and exploring crystal quality and physical properties of such nanostructures, by means of real space imaging in a scanning probe microscope [in a tunneling (STM) or atomic force (AFM) modes], and reciprocal space mapping by Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) and Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED). Chemical composition can be estimated from Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), while electronic structure and properties by Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy (STS). All these synthesis and characterization procedures are conducted in-situ in UHV, i.e., without taking the specimens out of the vacuum. Some of the currently-run projects include, Self-Organization and Ordering of Silicide Nanostructutres on Vicinal Surfaces, Cross-Sectional STM Studies of Multilayered Superlattices, Investigation of Contact Formation Between Metallic Layers and CZT Surfaces, Spin-Polarized STM of Magnetic Layers and Nanostructures, etc.
