Research interests
My research focuses on direct simulations of multiphase flows, with a particular emphasis on developing numerical methods for phase-changing and reactive systems. As part of this work, I have developed an open-source code based on the Basilisk framework, which utilizes the Volume-Of-Fluid approach to simulate evaporation and combustion in generic gas-liquid systems. The goal of my research is to advance the understanding of complex multiphase phenomena, guide experimental investigations, and provide valuable insights for the development of simplified engineering models.
