Simon Demange

Simon Demange is a post-doctoral researcher at the Technical University of Berlin, working within the Institute for Fluid Mechanics and Technical Acoustics (ISTA) in the Faculty of Traffic and Machine Systems. His research focuses on linear stability and resolvent analyses of turbulent boundary layers developing over airfoils, with particular emphasis on developing low-order physics-based models describing noise generation mechanisms from coherent structures in turbulent flows.

Dr. Demange completed his research master and PhD thesis within the aerospace and aeronautics department of the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics in 2021. His doctoral research focused on the onset of absolute and global instabilities in high-enthalpy round jets, establishing his expertise in flow instability analysis.

Dr. Demange's research interests span several critical areas of fluid dynamics with practical engineering applications:

• Turbulent boundary layer dynamics over airfoils and wings
• Resolvent analysis for modeling coherent structures in turbulence
• Trailing edge noise mechanisms in wind turbines and aircraft
• Physics-based low-order modeling of flow phenomena
• Plasma jet instabilities and high-enthalpy flow dynamics
• Multi-physics flow modeling and simulation

Analysis of Dr. Demange's publication record reveals a strong trajectory of increasingly sophisticated work bridging fundamental fluid dynamics with practical engineering applications. His research demonstrates particular expertise in applying stability analysis techniques to understand and model noise generation in aerodynamic systems, with significant implications for wind turbine design and aircraft noise reduction. His collaborative work spans multiple institutions and shows strong interdisciplinary connections between theoretical fluid dynamics, computational methods, and experimental validation.

Dr. Demange has developed specialized computational tools including FELiCS, a versatile linearized solver for multi-physics flows, demonstrating his capability in both theoretical development and practical implementation. His work on wind turbine noise addresses a critical challenge in renewable energy technology, while his research on high-speed train aerodynamics contributes to transportation engineering advancements.
