Dr. Jeroen Van Oijen

Biography

Jeroen van Oijen is a Full Professor in the Power & Flow group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He specializes in theoretical and numerical modeling of combustion. His area of expertise primarily involves engines and energy converters. His teaching focuses on mechanical engineering, chemically reacting flows, and modeling combustion and interfacial transport phenomena in engineering flows. Jeroen employs advanced numerical models to unravel fundamental processes in reacting flows, using his knowledge to develop computationally efficient models for large-scale simulations of real devices. He is the inventor of the Flamelet-Generated Manifold (FGM) method, which enables the use of detailed reaction mechanisms in engineering simulations at an affordable computational cost. His research group aims to develop new modeling approaches to design devices that incorporate new combustion concepts for future sustainable fuels. The energy transition necessitates the development of clean and efficient conversion devices that can utilize alternative carbon-free fuels as energy carriers. Jeroen's numerical models play a major role in the device design process.
