Ramis Örlü

Ramis Örlü is a Professor at Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet) in the Department of Mechanical, Electronics and Chemistry within the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design. He previously held positions at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Associate Professor in experimental fluid physics) and the University of Bologna (Adjunct Professor). He has also served as a Visiting Professor at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen, and Turkish-German University.

Education:

• Engineering Degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in Mechanical Engineering, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany (2003)
• Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics (experimental fluid dynamics and turbulence), KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden (2009)

Örlü's research focuses on turbulent flows, particularly drag and friction reduction through passive/active control techniques. His work combines large wind tunnel experiments, advanced measurement methods, and high-fidelity simulations for cross-validation. He contributes significantly to fluid dynamics journals and conferences.

Scientific Contributions: Recent publications (2022–2025) highlight studies on turbulent boundary layers, NACA wing aerodynamics, helical pipe flow stability, and innovative measurement techniques. His article trends emphasize computational/experimental synergy, adverse pressure gradient effects, and vortex dynamics.

Leadership: He serves as Managing Editor of Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science, Editorial Board member for Flow, Turbulence and Combustion and Advances in Aerodynamics, and Co-Editor of the Progress in Turbulence series.
