Sergio Galindo Torres

Dr. Sergio Galindo Torres is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the School of Civil Engineering, University of Queensland (UQ). His research focuses on geotechnical engineering, fluid dynamics, and computational modeling of granular and porous media. He specializes in discrete element methods (DEM), lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM), and their coupling for simulating particle-fluid interactions.

His work addresses transient two-phase flow, hydraulic fracturing, dispersion in porous media, and erosion mechanisms. His publications (45 journal articles, 31 conference papers, and technical reports) highlight his expertise in micromechanical analysis and numerical simulation of complex geological systems. Recent studies examine Péclet-number-dependent dispersion and airblast hazards in block caving.

The 15 most recent articles reflect trends across computational geomechanics, with emphasis on:

• Fluid flow in static/dynamic porous media
• DEM-LBM coupling for granular-fluid systems
• Two-phase displacement under varying boundary conditions
• Airblast hazard simulation in mining
• Liquefaction micromechanics
• Capillary pressure-saturation dynamics

Dr. Galindo Torres collaborates with researchers like Alexander Scheuermann and Ling Li, and his work appears in journals such as Water Resources Research, Physical Review, and Computers and Geotechnics. He does not list specific awards or advisees in this dataset.
