Shi Joyce Sim

Joyce is a geodynamicist working on two-phase flow magma dynamics at tectonic boundaries such as subduction zones and mid-ocean ridges and am expanding this research into the planetary realm with the goal to understand dynamic habitability. Currently, she is an assistant professor at the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Institute of Technology.

Two phase or not two phase

Two phase or not two phase

In this week’s blog Shi Joyce Sim from Georgia Institute of Technology shares the underlying science behind two-phase flow dynamics.   A talk at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in March got me thinking. Basically, the presenter described how boundary layers grow over time, a phenomenon that cannot be captured using one dimensional models and necessitates modeling in higher dimensi ...[Read More]
