Boris V. Balakin

Høgskulen på Vestlandet

professor in fluid mechanics

Googlescholar

ResearchGate

computational studies of industrial systems with special focus on multiphysics-related phenomena: radiation, casting, boiling, conjugate heat transfer, combustion and chemical reactions. Numerical modelling of aforementioned events by means of computational fluid dynamics is of particular interest. Advanced non-invasive experimental techniques for CFD validation.
