Epaminondas Mastorakos

Biography

Dr. Epaminondas Mastorakos is Professor of Energy Technologies in Cambridge University Engineering Department. He is in the Acoustics, Fluid Mechanics, Turbomachinery and Thermodynamics Division (Division A). He is also a member of Fitzwilliam College.

Research Interest

Dr. Epaminondas Mastorakos research focuses on combustion and other reacting flows. We work on simulations and experiments of turbulent combustion, and in particular on "flames at the limit". He focus therefore on ignition and extinction phenomena that have applications, for example, in diesel engines and gas turbines. His work on simulations and simulation tools includes reduced chemical mechanism construction, laminar flames, Direct Numerical Simulations of turbulent flames, and RANS and LES simulations of non-premixed reacting flows with the Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) method.
