معرفی
Scott Ormiston is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba's Price Faculty of Engineering. He holds a B.Sc. (1981), M.A.Sc. (1984), and Ph.D. (1990) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Manitoba and University of Waterloo. His research focuses on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), specializing in two-phase flow modeling, heat transfer, and numerical methods. Key areas include falling film condensation/absorption, turbulent flow in tube bundles, and CFD code development for industrial applications. His group develops in-house CFD codes and leverages commercial tools like ANSYS CFX and Fluent.
Research emphasizes applications in power generation, refrigeration, and chemical processing industries. Recent work includes supercritical fluid instability analysis, phase change material thermal performance, and desalination systems. He actively seeks M.Sc. and Ph.D. students with strong fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and programming skills.
Labs/Teams: His research group focuses on CFD software development and industrial collaboration. Ongoing projects involve modeling heat exchangers, aerothermal systems, and energy-efficient materials.
