Prof. Gustavo R. Anjos

My research focuses on developing numerical simulations for single- and two-phase flows, with applications in various fields such as mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, chemical processing, biomechanics, and environmental science. Through my work, I aim to improve our understanding of complex fluid dynamics and develop more accurate predictive models. During my doctoral studies, I concentrated on developing the discretization of fluid motion equations and modeling interfacial forces using the Finite Element Method. I designed an in-house numerical code utilizing modern and flexible object-oriented languages: C++ and Python to facilitate easy of maintenance and further development. My Ph.D. thesis is available online [link], which 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 the boiling/condensation experimental database using a commercial front-capturing code available within the MIT group. In September 2013, I returned to Brazil as a Postdoctoral Fellow sponsored by CAPES/Science Without Borders - Young Talent Fellowship. In 2014, I became a young professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). Since 2019, I have held a professorship position at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). I am currently head of the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics (LabMFA). Additionally, I'm affiliated with the Graduate School of Mechanical Engineering at COPPE, a Young Researcher of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ), and a recipient of the Royal Society-Newton Advanced Fellowship (more info).
