Fabian has over 15 years of scientific experience in the development of numerical methods and computational tools for the prediction and analysis of multiphase flows. His work encompasses both fundamental and applied research on multiphase flows, the development of mathematical models to describe physical phenomena related to multiphase flows and acoustics, as well as the development of numerical methods for incompressible and compressible flows. Fabian currently serves as the vice-chair of the technical committee on Fluid Mechanics Engineering of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME).

Graduate students

Tiphaine Bloch

Inertial cavity collapse 

Tiphaine's work focuses on the development of numerical models to predict the collapse, rebound and acoustic emissions of inertially driven cavities.

Mohamed Amine Bougezzoul

Polydisperse particle-laden flows

Amine develops quadrature-based moment methods to simulate dispersed multiphase flows, especially flows laden with particles of different size and shape.

Pierre Coulombel

Cavitation

Pierre works on models for the acoustic interaction of cavitation bubbles and the onset of heterogeneous cavitation in liquids under tension.

Bing Li

Particle impact dynamics

Bing studies the breakup and deformation of particles upon collision, with the aim of developing models for their impact behaviour.

Interns

Tégue Mbodj

Droplet dynamics

Tégue is designing a computing tool for droplet breakup as part of an undergraduate project.
