David Roos Launchbury

David Roos Launchbury is a Lecturer at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Energy Technology within the Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture at HSLU. His research focuses on fluid mechanics, numerical methods, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), particularly in turbomachinery and energy systems. He leads projects such as the ITC Big Data Cloud initiative, autonomous emissions monitoring for wood-burning systems, and analysis of heat-treatment furnaces. His work emphasizes advanced turbulence modeling, pump-turbine stability, and high-fidelity numerical simulations. Key publications address Reynolds stress models, RANS-based predictions, and LES solver development using OpenFOAM.

Research Projects include:

• ITC - Big Data Hochschule Luzern Cloud
• Autonomous Low-Cost Emissions Monitoring of Wood-Burning Systems
• Hardening Oven Analysis
• Battery Spray Device Analysis
• Simulation of Anergienetz Suurstoffi

Publications highlight expertise in turbulence modeling for hydraulic machinery, CFD applications in turbomachinery, and numerical methods for heat transfer. His work spans from fundamental fluid dynamics to applied energy technology challenges.
