Ida Karimfazli

Ida Karimfazli is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Aerospace Engineering at Concordia University. Her research focuses on fluid dynamics, complex fluids, and heat transfer, with applications in computational modeling and industrial challenges like well abandonment and plug cementing.

• Education: B.Sc. (University of Tehran), M.Sc. (Stanford University), Ph.D. (University of British Columbia)

Her research explores phenomena such as yield-stress fluid behavior, off-bottom plug placement, and viscoplastic fluid dynamics. Recent work addresses chaotic mixing, density effects in cement plugs, and geometric influences in 2D models. She advises students in Mechanical Engineering (MASc and PhD programs).

Her articles highlight trends in non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, hydrodynamic instability solutions, and multiphase flow optimization. Current efforts emphasize bridging computational models with real-world industrial applications in energy and materials sectors.
