معرفی
Dean Wilson is a Lecturer in Fluid Mechanics at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The University of Manchester. He holds a PhD in Computational Modelling of Turbulent Magnetohydrodynamic Flow (2016). His research focuses on advanced CFD modeling for nuclear thermal hydraulics, turbulence modeling in complex flows, and natural convection systems. Key areas include lead-cooled fast reactors, tight lattice LWR subchannel analysis, and magnetohydrodynamic flow simulations.
Education: Doctor of Philosophy (2016), The University of Manchester. Supervisors: Prof. Craft and Prof. Iacovides.
Research Interests: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Turbulence Modeling, Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics, Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), Natural Convection Cooling, and Thermal-Hydraulic Testing of Advanced Reactors. He contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to Affordable & Clean Energy (SDG7) through nuclear thermal hydraulics research.
Recognitions: Recipient of the Elsevier Prize for Best Computational Paper on Single Phase Flows - Applied (2022). Active in organizing the 17th National UK Heat Transfer Conference (2021).
Labs/Groups: Member of the Fluids Research Group, leading research on turbulent flow simulation and passive cooling systems. Collaborates with international institutions like Dalton Nuclear Institute.
