معرفی
D.J.E.M. Roekaerts is a Professor specializing in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Fluid Mechanics and Combustion. His research centers on advanced combustion phenomena including flame dynamics, spray combustion, and multiphase reacting flows, utilizing high-fidelity computational methods to model complex combustion systems under extreme conditions.
His primary research interests span Combustion, Fluid Mechanics, Flames, and Sprays, with emphasis on transcritical multiphase combustion, radiative heat transfer effects, and ignition processes in hydrogen and dual-fuel systems. Roekaerts employs computational techniques like Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to investigate fundamental combustion mechanisms across diverse applications from propellant combustion to alternative fuel systems.
Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal a concentrated research trajectory in high-pressure combustion phenomena, real-fluid thermodynamics, and advanced modeling of reacting sprays. Key themes include the interaction of radiative transfer with flame propagation in aerosols, transcritical multiphase combustion modeling, and development of efficient reduced-chemistry approaches for complex fuel systems.
Roekaerts has supervised 19 research works, demonstrating significant mentorship contributions in combustion engineering and fluid dynamics, while maintaining active editorial roles including service as editor for Combustion and Flame and Torus Press Ltd.
