研究方向
萬敏平主要從事湍流理論和數值模擬方面的研究，側重湍流和磁流體的非線性、非定常和間歇性研究。博士期間對二維湍流能量逆級串的物理機制、能量級串的拉格朗日特性進行了原創性研究；之後對空間電漿湍流中能量耗散和湍流相干結構的關係進行了開創性的研究。先後在Physical Review Letters、 Journal of Fluid Mechanics、 Physics of Fluids等領域內主流期刊上發表論文50多篇，論文被引用1700多次，H因子22（Google Scholar）。
主要成就
先後在 Physical Review Letters, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Physics of Fluids，Physical Review Fluids 等領域內主流期刊上發表論文 90 多篇，論文被引用 3400 多次，H 因子 31。
