Ivan Okhotnikov

Ivan Okhotnikov is a researcher affiliated with Bournemouth University's Faculty of Science and Technology. His work focuses on hydraulic systems and fluid dynamics, particularly the performance evaluation of rotary flow control valves.

• Expertise in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and flow measurement
• Published in journals like International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow and Flow Measurement and Instrumentation

Research interests revolve around optimizing valve designs for independent metering hydraulics, with an emphasis on pressure losses and steady flow torques. His recent publications (2017-2020) demonstrate a consistent focus on numerical modeling and experimental validation of rotary tubular spool valves.
