Andreas Kempf

Prof. Dr. Ing. Andreas Kempf is a Professor of Fluid Dynamics at the University Duisburg-Essen, leading the Department of Fluid Dynamics. His research focuses on Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) of turbulent reactive flows, nanoparticle synthesis, and combustion engine dynamics. He holds editorial roles in journals like Proceedings of the Combustion Institute and Flow, Turbulence and Combustion. His academic career includes roles at Imperial College London (2005–2011) and a PhD from TU Darmstadt (1999–2004). Kempf’s work emphasizes LES development, particularly in combustion and multiphase systems. His recent publications highlight advancements in scalar transport modeling, detonation confinement, and coal/ammonia co-combustion. Research collaborations involve institutions like TU Darmstadt and CER.UDE. He directs the Lehrstuhl für Fluiddynamik and contributes to the Center for Computational Sciences and Simulation (CCSS).

Education: Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (TU Darmstadt, 1999), PhD in Engineering (TU Darmstadt, 2004). Research interests span LES methodology, nanoparticle synthesis via spray flames (SpraySyn), and computational diagnostics like chemiluminescence tomography. His lab addresses industrial challenges in combustion efficiency and emissions reduction, supported by grants and interdisciplinary networks.
