Professor Boris Balakin is affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Maritime Studies at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL). His research focuses on multiphysics phenomena in industrial systems, including boiling, heat transfer, multiphase flows, turbulence, electrochemistry, and particle deposition.
- Specializes in CFD-DEM, Eulerian two-fluid, and VOF methods for multiphase flow modeling.
- Investigates renewable energy applications like nanosystems for solar and geothermal energy.
- Conducts non-invasive experimental validation using CT and PEPT techniques.
Research Trends: Recent publications emphasize nanofluids for solar thermal systems, CFD modeling of industrial multiphase flows, and flow assurance in pipelines. Key subfields include photothermal conversion, particle agglomeration, and erosion analysis.
Academic Leadership: Supervises PhD candidates in projects related to heat transfer, CFD modeling, and flow assurance. Teaches advanced courses like MAS536 CFD in Energy Technology and contributes to research groups on Solar Nano and Nanofluids for Energy and Process Technology.
