Hugo Atle Jakobsen

Hugo Atle Jakobsen is a Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), specializing in computational fluid dynamics within the Department of Chemical Engineering. His research encompasses multiphase reactive flows, reactor technology (including packed beds, fluidized beds, and bubble columns), phase separation processes, and advanced numerical methods in fluid dynamics. He teaches courses in Transport Phenomena (TKP4160/KP8904), Reactor Technology (TKP4145/KP8902), and specialized reactor modeling.

Jakobsen's research interests focus on:

• Multiphase reactive flow modeling for chemical reactors
• Development of finite volume and weighted residual methods for computational fluid dynamics
• Population balance modeling for complex fluid systems
• Experimental analysis of fluid particle behavior under turbulent conditions

His recent publications (2021-2025) predominantly explore bubble/drop dynamics, interfacial mass transfer, and reactor modeling, with consistent themes in experimental validation of computational frameworks for multiphase systems. Trends indicate strong emphasis on turbulence effects, non-Newtonian fluid behavior, and innovations in population balance equations.
