Helmi Al Jamal

Helmi Al Jamal is a Lecturer in the Department of Engineering Technology at the University of Houston's College of Technology. His research focuses on fluid dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, and vortex-induced vibrations, with particular emphasis on large eddy simulation (LES) modeling of flows around circular cylinders. He has contributed to understanding wave-current interactions, oscillatory flow dynamics, and the contrast between forced and self-excited oscillations in mechanical systems.

His work spans numerical simulations of vortex shedding, turbulence modeling, and flow-structure interactions at moderate Reynolds numbers. Though no specific awards or grants are listed, his publications highlight advanced numerical techniques applied to engineering technology challenges. He is reachable at hal-jamal@uh.edu and is based at the College of Technology Building in Houston, Texas.
