Jie Li

Dr Jie Li is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, specializing in computational fluid dynamics and numerical methods for multiphase flows.

• Expertise in interface tracking methods (e.g., Volume of Fluid) and adaptive mesh techniques
• Research applications include inkjet printing, cavitation, and droplet combustion

His work focuses on modeling complex interfacial phenomena such as viscoelasticity, surface tension, surfactant dynamics, contact lines, triplet points, rarefied gas behavior, droplet collisions, and solid-wall impacts. Publications demonstrate extensive use of arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) methods, finite element schemes, and smoothed surface stress approaches for simulating moving boundary problems in fluid mechanics.
