معرفی
Jean-Claude Roy is an Associate Professor in Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics at the Bourgogne Franche-Comté University, affiliated with the UFR STGI (Science, Technology, and Industrial Engineering Unit) and part of the Energy Department. He has been active in research since 1991, focusing on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications in agricultural and thermal engineering.
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering (1991) - Mixing of anisothermal flows
- Academic Appointments: Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and CFD modeling
His research spans two primary domains:
- Greenhouse Micrometeorology - Modeling heat, water vapor, and CO2 transfers in greenhouse environments, with emphasis on climate distribution, natural ventilation, and crop transpiration.
- Magnetocaloric Heat Transfer - Investigating heat pumps using magnetocaloric regenerators, oscillating flows, and innovative composite materials for sustainable refrigeration.
Key publication trends show expertise in:
- CFD modeling of magnetocaloric devices and regenerators
- Thermal and aerodynamic analysis of projectiles and transducers
- Climate control in agricultural facilities
He collaborates extensively with researchers like Thierry Boulard, Yannick Bailly, and Stefan Giurgea, contributing to 58+ publications. His work bridges mechanical engineering principles with agricultural and environmental applications, focusing on both heat transfer and fluid dynamics challenges.
