معرفی
Prof. Ilya Karlin is a Lecturer at the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zürich. His research focuses on advanced computational fluid dynamics, particularly leveraging lattice Boltzmann methods for simulating complex fluid phenomena. Key areas include non-ideal fluid behavior, multiphase flows, combustion processes, and hydrodynamic closures. He has contributed extensively to improving numerical methods for compressible flows, turbulent systems, and reactive mixtures in porous media. His work bridges kinetic theory with continuum mechanics, addressing challenges in hydrodynamic manifolds and non-local effects.
Dr. Karlin's publications emphasize rigorous mathematical analysis alongside computational innovation, such as spectral closure techniques and entropy-based models. His research often explores the interplay between microscopic kinetic descriptions and macroscopic hydrodynamic equations. He has developed novel algorithms like the 'particles on demand' method for handling strong discontinuities in flows. Recent work includes studies on rarefaction effects, capillarity-viscosity balance, and exact hydrodynamic manifolds for BGK equations.
His studies span diverse applications from microfluidics and phase transitions to detonation modeling and environmental fluid mechanics. While no specific awards are listed in the provided text, his prolific publication record indicates significant contributions to the field of computational fluid dynamics.
