Welcome to the Environmental Fluids Laboratory (EFL) at Coastal Carolina University. We study environmental fluid flows with research encompassing diverse topics in fluid dynamics. Ongoing research includes topics such as biologically inspired flows, coastal physical oceanography, and radar remote sensing.
