... Ash is professor of engineering and associate vice president for research at Old Dominion University. His current research is focused on developing systems to produce oxygen from the Martian atmosphere using glow-discharge techniques, accurate methods for including atmospheric effects in modeling commercial aircraft wake vortex hazards at congested airports, and methods for incorporating relaxation effects in simple fluids.

... His areas of specialty are flame theory, combustion in turbulent flows, asymptotic methods in combustion, fire research, reactions in boundary layers, and other areas of combustion and fluid dynamics. His current research topics include the prediction of emissions of oxides of nitrogen from large diesels, theory of flames with real chemistry, high-pressure combustion of binary fuel sprays, droplet burning experiments in the space shuttle, experimental and theoretical studies of fuel droplets and flames subject to straining flows, stretched diffusion flames in von Karman swirl flows, catalytic combustion fundamentals, and the fundamentals of acoustic instability in liquid propelled rockets.
