معرفی
Alex Rashkovan is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Physics at McMaster University. His academic work focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics, and heat transfer, with a strong emphasis on modeling fluid behavior in reactor containment systems and experimental validation of CFD simulations.
His research spans turbulent jet dynamics, stratified layer erosion, mixed convection, and vortex analysis, as evidenced by publications in journals such as Nuclear Engineering and Design, Physics of Fluids, and Progress in Nuclear Energy.
Key trends in his scholarly activity include the optimization of gas-coolant channels, scaling considerations for reactor experiments, and the thermal and fluid dynamic analysis of complex geometries like wavy walls and rotating containers. His work often bridges numerical simulations with empirical validation to enhance reactor safety and efficiency.
