Ramis Örlü

Ramis Örlü is a Full Professor of Fluid Mechanics at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University (since 2024). Previously, he held roles including Associate Professor at OsloMet (2023–2024), Adjunct Professor at the University of Bologna (2017–2023), and Docent at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2015–2023). He obtained his Ph.D. in engineering mechanics from KTH in 2009 and an engineering degree from Ruhr University Bochum in 2003.

His research focuses on turbulent flows, skin-friction and drag reduction, experimental fluid dynamics, and high-fidelity simulations. He has extensive experience with wind tunnel facilities and advanced measurement techniques. He serves as editor of Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science and on editorial boards of Flow, Turbulence and Combustion and Advances in Aerodynamics.

His recent work includes studies on turbulent boundary layers around airfoils, adverse pressure gradient effects, and plasma actuator efficiency. He has collaborated with institutions like KIT, FAU Erlangen, and Turkish-German University through guest professorships and fellowships.

Örlü’s research bridges fundamental fluid mechanics with industrial applications, emphasizing turbulence control and flow characterization. His experimental and simulation datasets are publicly accessible for select cases, furthering collaborative research efforts.
