Overview

Thomas L. Jackson is affiliated with the University of Florida in the United States and has contributed extensively to the field of engineering, with a focus on aerospace engineering, mechanics of materials, computational mechanics, ocean engineering, and materials chemistry.

Their research spans several key topics including energetic materials and combustion, combustion and detonation processes, rocket and propulsion systems research, particle dynamics in fluid flows, high-velocity impact and material behavior, elasticity and material modeling, and computational fluid dynamics and aerodynamics.

Jackson's recent papers illustrate a concentration on thermo-mechanical simulations and the behavior of heterogeneous solid propellants. These works include:

  • Eulerian thermo-mechanical simulations of heterogeneous solid propellants using an approximate projection method, 2020, Combustion and Flame
  • Three-dimensional thermo-mechanical simulations of heterogeneous solid propellants, 2021, Combustion and Flame
  • Investigating dimensional effects on predicting burning rates of heterogeneous solid propellants, 2020, AIAA Journal
  • Calibration of reactive burn and Jones-Wilkins-Lee parameters for simulations of a detonation-driven flow experiment with uncertainty quantification, 2020, Physical Review Fluids
  • Shock and contact interaction with a simple cubic array of particles, 2024, Physics of Fluids

Frequent collaborators in their work have included S. Balachandar, Tadbhagya Kumar, Joshua Garno, Frederick Ouellet, and Sam Briney.

Publication venues where Jackson has appeared multiple times reflect their areas of focus and include:

  • Combustion and Flame
  • Physical Review Fluids
  • AIAA Journal
  • Physics of Fluids
  • Journal of Propulsion and Power

Their contributions cover a wide range of interdisciplinary topics within engineering, intersecting fluid dynamics, material behavior under extreme conditions, and propulsion systems, with an emphasis on computational approaches to problem-solving in aerospace and material sciences.
