Ilia Roisman

Associate Professor Ilia Roisman at Technische Universität Darmstadt's Department of Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics specializes in fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, and multiphase flow systems. His research focuses on droplet and spray dynamics, ice physics, thermal atomization, and surface engineering. Key areas include supercooled drop impact dynamics, icephobic coatings, and nanosuspension instabilities.

Research interests span experimental and numerical investigations of drop impacts on heated surfaces, spray cooling of electric machines, and granular ice layer mechanics. Collaborative projects address challenges in aerospace icing, material science, and industrial atomization processes.

Publications emphasize thermal modeling, phase-change phenomena, and fluid behavior under extreme conditions. Notable topics include vapor percolation effects, interfacial rheology in microemulsions, and fingering instabilities in capillary systems. Experimental methods include phase Doppler measurement and infrared thermal imaging.

His work contributes to advancing anti-icing technologies, improving thermal management systems, and optimizing spray-based manufacturing processes. Current research trends highlight interdisciplinary applications in energy, aerospace, and materials engineering.
