布鲁斯 has over 15 years’ experience in applying computational fluid and structural mechanics 模拟 to industrial problems in turbulence, thermofluids, multiphase flow and dynamic fluid-structure interaction across the 航空航天, 石油 & 气体, 核 and process industries.
经验
布鲁斯 originally studied Civil 工程 at the undergraduate and masters level, specializing in fluids and structures, before pursuing a Ph.D. in the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) 建模 of plate-type windborne debris flight. This began his career-long interest in the application of computational mechanics 模拟 to various structural and fluid dynamics problems.
His subsequent career has spanned both industrial and academic roles, including a post-doctoral Research Fellowship at the Rolls Royce UTC in 气体 Turbine Transmission 系统s as well as various other engineering consultancy roles.
He has over a decade of experience in applying mathematical 建模 and computational mechanics 模拟 to provide clear answers to complex performance and 安全 challenges across the 航空航天, 石油 & 气体, renewable energy, chemical process, and 核 im体育平台app下载.
Developing efficient methodologies for simulating the flow-induced and acoustic-induced vibration and fatigue/fretting durability of process systems components. These methods continue to support the successful analysis-based qualification of critical systems in the offshore 石油/气体 sector.
Applied a coupled 1D-3D thermal-hydraulic model of a PWR steam generator to predict fluid flow maldistribution and conjugate heat transfer performance of various plenum designs. Model findings informed the optimization of plenum designs to reduce statistical maldistribution across tubes and strategies to achieve target performance.
Advancing the application of Eulerian and Lagrangian multiphase CFD methods to the complex mixed regime (segregated-dispersed) and multi-scale (thin & thick films) flows that occur in 气体 turbine transmission components such as bearing chambers and power gearboxes. The work coupled and extended traditional single-regime multiphase methodologies to the complexities of real-world conditions and has been successfully applied to other applications in the process industry.
Developed and validated a methodology for simulating the non-linear fluid-structure interaction of autorotating plate-type projectiles.
