معرفی
Eric Savory is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Western University. He joined the university in January 2002 after completing his PhD (1985) and B.Sc. (1981) at the University of Surrey, UK. His primary research interests include industrial fluid mechanics, experimental study of turbulent flows, and wind tunnel measurement, with applications in automotive cooling, urban airflow, biomedical systems, and wind engineering.
- Education:
- B.Sc. (Hons), University of Surrey, 1981
- Ph.D., University of Surrey, 1985
Research Affiliations: Advanced Fluid Mechanics Research Group, Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory, and collaborations with the J.P. Robarts Research Institute and the Department of Applied Mathematics. His work has been funded by organizations such as the CFI/OIT, NSERC, and Manitoba Hydro, including major projects like the Three Little Pigs Project, which tests full-scale wood-frame housing under environmental loads.
Key Research Areas: Aerodynamics of cavity flows, performance of automotive cooling fans, experimental and numerical modeling of surface cooling jets, vortex shedding, jets and plumes in crossflow, urban street canyon dispersion, thunderstorm simulations, and mould growth in buildings.
Research Group: Includes postdoctoral fellows, PhD students (e.g., Graham Hunt, William Lin), MESc students (e.g., Jason Bourgeois), and undergraduates (e.g., Heygaan Rajakumar).
Professional Affiliations: PEng, CEng, MRAeS.
