Prof. Gustavo R. Anjos
My research focuses on the development of advanced computational and numerical methods for the simulation of single- and multiphase flows, with applications spanning mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, chemical processes, biomechanics, porous media, microfluidics, and environmental sciences. My work combines computational fluid dynamics (CFD), scientific computing, and the Finite Element Method (FEM) to investigate highly coupled multiphysics phenomena involving fluid motion, deformable interfaces, heat and mass transfer, fluid-structure interaction, and complex transport processes.
I am currently a Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering / COPPE / Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), where I lead research activities in advanced numerical methods for multiphysics and multiphase flows. I also serve as the Head of the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics (LabMFA). My research group develops high-fidelity computational methodologies for complex fluid systems involving moving interfaces, nonlinear couplings, deformable structures, and heat and mass transfer.
Over the years, my research has concentrated on the formulation and implementation of robust numerical frameworks based on the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) description, moving mesh techniques, front-tracking methods, immersed finite element methods, and semi-Lagrangian formulations for incompressible flows. Particular attention has been devoted to the numerical treatment of interfacial dynamics, surface tension effects, phase change, multiscale transport, and strongly nonlinear coupled systems.
I have developed several in-house high-performance numerical solvers using modern object-oriented programming techniques in C++ and Python, enabling flexible implementations for large-scale and multiphysics simulations. My research also includes the development of new computational strategies for:
- two-phase and free-surface flows,
- fluid-structure interaction (FSI),
- non-Newtonian flows,
- heat and mass transfer,
- porous and Darcy-Forchheimer flows,
- immersed and decoupled mesh methods,
- front-tracking and moving interface techniques,
- nonlinear variational formulations,
- particle-laden and biofluid simulations.
During my doctoral studies at EPFL, I focused on the numerical discretization of fluid motion equations and the modeling of interfacial forces within finite element frameworks for multiphase flows. My Ph.D. thesis [link] was selected among the top 5-10% best theses written at EPFL in 2012.
From August 2012 to August 2013, I worked as a Postdoctoral Associate in Nuclear Science & Engineering (NSE) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge/Boston. The objective of this position was to benchmark experimental databases of boiling and condensation phenomena using advanced interface-capturing numerical methodologies. In September 2013, I returned to Brazil as a Postdoctoral Fellow sponsored by CAPES/Science Without Borders - Young Talent Fellowship.
In 2014, I joined the Mechanical Engineering Department at UERJ as a young professor. Since 2019, I have held a faculty position at UFRJ/COPPE/PEM, where I currently supervise research projects in computational mechanics, multiphase flows, and scientific computing. I am also a Young Researcher of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ) and a recipient of the Royal Society-Newton Advanced Fellowship (more info).
