Arash Eslamdoost

Arash Eslamdoost is an Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology within the Department of Marine Technology, part of the Mechanics and Maritime Sciences school. His academic career has focused on applied hydrodynamics with particular emphasis on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to understand flow physics around marine vessels.

Dr. Eslamdoost's research interests primarily center on improving marine vessel performance through reducing hull drag and understanding propulsor-hull interactions to minimize energy losses. His work spans five key areas: Propulsor-Hull Interaction, Waterjet Propulsion, Ship Hydrodynamics, Hydrofoil Technology, and Computational Fluid Dynamics. His research approach combines numerical simulations with experimental validation to develop practical engineering solutions for the maritime industry.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on energy efficiency in marine propulsion systems, with particular attention to waterjet technology, propeller-hull interactions in various flow conditions, and the effects of waves on ship performance. His work increasingly addresses sustainable marine technologies, including hydrogen-powered vessels and wind-assisted shipping solutions. The research demonstrates progression from fundamental fluid dynamics to applied engineering solutions with practical industry relevance.

Dr. Eslamdoost actively collaborates with numerous researchers across Chalmers University and with external partners including the Swedish Transport Administration, Swedish Energy Agency, and European Commission. His projects often involve interdisciplinary teams combining expertise in fluid dynamics, marine engineering, and sustainable energy systems.

He leads and participates in multiple research initiatives focused on underwater propulsion systems, efficient rudder design for wind-assisted ships, hydrofoil performance measurement, and electric propulsion systems for foiling craft. His work on the RESHIP project specifically addresses energy-efficient solutions for hydrogen-powered vessels, reflecting the industry's shift toward sustainable maritime transport.
