Arie H. Huijgen

Arie H. Huijgen is an active researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology's Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, specializing in computational fluid dynamics for particle and droplet interactions. His work bridges fundamental fluid mechanics with industrial applications in spray drying and waste treatment.

His research focuses on non-Newtonian fluid behavior, wet particle collisions, and droplet dynamics using advanced simulation techniques like Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and Volume of Fluid (VoF) methods. Key interests include rheology effects, shear thinning, and liquid bridge formation in collision scenarios.

Huijgen has co-authored five peer-reviewed publications since 2024, with two forthcoming 2026 papers in Chemical Engineering Science. His work demonstrates strong trends in industrial process optimization through high-fidelity simulations, particularly for systems involving power-law fluids and complex particle interactions.

He actively contributes to the scientific community through conference presentations, including six recent activities at major events like AIChE.

• Corresponding author on multiple publications
