Professor of Mechanical Engineering, University of Cambridge
Professor Swami Swaminathan is a world-class expert in the physics and chemistry of turbulent reacting flows, their modelling and simulations. His significant finding in turbulence-scalar-chemistry interaction led to a robust and accurate modelling framework enabling quantitative estimates of temperature distribution, emissions, combustion noise and instabilities in combustors using single simulation. His work helps engineers find robust designs of “green combustion systems” for power generation using low- and zero-carbon fuel and helps devise simple models for complex fundamental phenomena.
