پژوهشگر
Jean Decaix is a Researcher at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO Valais-Wallis - Haute Ecole d'Ingénierie ) within the Department of Energy and Environmental Techniques . His work focuses on hydropower systems , computational fluid dynamics (CFD) , and cavitation modeling for hydraulic turbines. Decaix contributes to projects like SCCER-SoE (Supply of Electricity center) and XFlex Hydro , aiming to enhance grid stability through advanced turbine operation. Decaix's research spans Francis and Pelton turbines , with a focus on flow topology , unsteady cavitating flows , and hydraulic short-circuit modes . He develops freely distributable CFD tools for building airflow and turbine efficiency, validated through experimental measurements and numerical simulations . Notable projects : SCCER-SoE (2017-2020): Innovation roadmaps for geothermal and hydropower Solution de transfert d'énergie par pompage-turbinage à petite échelle (2015-2017): Economic model development for small-scale hydropower Decaix's 15 most recent publications (2015-2024) cover topics like cavitation suppression , vortex rope dynamics , Pelton turbine efficiency , and CFD validation for building energy systems. His work emphasizes renewable energy integration and mechanical stress reduction in hydropower plants.
