Jan Wissink

Jan Wissink is a Senior Lecturer in Aerospace Engineering and Senior Tutor at Brunel University London, within the College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences. His research focuses on environmental fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and computational fluid dynamics, with expertise in heat and mass transfer across air-water interfaces, turbulent flow modeling, and transitional flow dynamics in turbine cascades.

Education

• MSc in Applied Mathematics, University of Groningen (NL)
• PhD in Computational Methods to Fully Resolve Transitional and Turbulent Flows, University of Groningen (NL)

His recent work examines unsteady fluid dynamics, Marangoni effects in buoyancy-driven flows, and DNS/LES simulations of open-channel and turbine blade flows. Publications highlight interdisciplinary applications in renewable energy and environmental engineering.

Research Grants

• Nanofluid based solar PV/T technology for polygeneration

He collaborates on advanced numerical methods for low-diffusivity scalar transport and contributes to projects integrating fluid dynamics with sustainable energy systems.
