Dr. Milton E. Teske,   Senior Associate

Tel.: 609.538.0444 ext 109

Background
  • Joined C.D.I. in 1979
  • Worked from 1972 to 1979 at Aeronautical Research Associates of Princeton (A.R.A.P.)
  • Post-doctoral fellow at Princeton University from 1969 to 1972
  • Ph.D., University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, 1969
  • M.S., California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, 1966
  • B.S., Iowa State University, Ames, IA, 1965
Research Interests
    While employed at A.R.A.P., Dr. Teske teamed with Dr. W. Stephen Lewellen in developing a second-order closure model of turbulence and the finite difference codes used to solve for complicated flows involving one and two spatial dimensions, including thunderstorm gust fronts, buoyant plume rise, tornado behavior, horizontal roll vortices, diurnal seabreeze and condensation effects, and aircraft vortex wakes (teaming with Dr. Alan J. Bilanin).

    At C.D.I., Dr. Teske developed codes for nuclear safety steam lines involving acoustic circuit analysis and finite difference, and safety valve simulation in ideal gas, two-phase, subcooled and superheated flows through the COUPLE code for the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the modeling effort simulating the valve failure at Three Mile Island. Dr. Teske developed a three-dimensional Poisson solver for Fluid Structural Interaction in nuclear containments and has been instrumental in developing a vacuum breaker valve code including the effect of fluid leakage. He continues to work in nuclear safety, implementing simulations of three-dimensional flow through gate values and as a result of a high-pressure guillotine break (using the Navier-Stokes PARC3D solver), developing tools for containment water-level prediction (SLEW and LEER), for the General Electric Company and EPRI, and developing an acoustic circuit analysis of the steam dome and main steam lines for power uprate.

    With Dr. Todd R. Quackenbush, he has been involved in the development of helicopter wake models (using curved vortex element methodology) and a personal computer based code FJSIM to simulate the jettisoning of fuel for the U.S. Air Force. Dr. Teske also developed (with Dr. Bilanin) and wrote the USDA Forest Service AGDISP code for predicting ground deposition from agricultural aircraft using a Lagrangian approach including turbulent effects. This code has become part of the Spray Advisor model for the USDA Forest Service, and was the code source for the development of AgDRIFT for the Spray Drift Task Force.

    Dr. Teske has conducted dozens of workshops on the models he developed, including workshops in Canada and New Zealand.
