Research Interests:
Analytical/numerical methods in transient, conjugated forced convection and steady turbulent boundary layer heat transfer.
Professor Sucec is in the thermal sciences area and teaches heat transfer, thermodynamics and fluid flow at the undergraduate level as well as courses in conduction and forced convection heat transfer at the graduate level. His current research interests include analytical and numerical work in heat transfer across turbulent boundary layers and in transient, conjugated, forced convection heat transfer. The focus of present research is in transpired turbulent flow and heat transfer.
