Research Interests

He is a specialist in the numerical simulations of mechanical engineering problems, in particular, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD). In the last ten years he developed a new method called the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) to solve fluid mechanics problems including free-surface flow, breaking waves and fragmentation. This method becomes very popular to solve problems like ship and harbour designs, melting of metals, erosion, and polymer combustion or magma analysis.
