Ayodeji Demuren

Ayodeji Demuren is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Old Dominion University (ODU), Norfolk, Virginia. His research focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), turbulence modeling, biomedical engineering applications, and energy systems. Demuren holds a Ph.D. and B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College London (1979 and 1975, respectively).

His academic career includes awards such as the Lewis F. Moody Award and visiting professorships at the University of Tokyo and St. Francis Xavier University. Demuren’s work spans interdisciplinary areas: from aerodynamics and heat transfer to medical device design (e.g., insulin pump flow dynamics) and fuel cell technologies. He has led numerous grants, including studies on insulin delivery systems, CFD analysis of CAT machines, and high-performance hull design.

Key research interests include turbulent jet behavior, numerical simulations of incompressible flows, and second-moment closure models. His publications span journals like Experiments in Fluids, Numerical Heat Transfer, and conference proceedings in aerospace and biomedical engineering. Ongoing projects involve PEM fuel cells, UAV power systems, and fluid dynamics in meandering channels.

Demuren collaborates with institutions like NASA and SAE, and his work bridges academic research with industrial applications, such as friction stir welding and automotive aerodynamics.
