Biography

Niklas Andersson is a Professor in the Department of Fluid Dynamics and Mechanics at Chalmers University of Technology. His primary research interests include simulation of compressible flows, numerical techniques in computational fluid dynamics, and modal analysis of flows using eigenmode extraction. A significant portion of his research addresses topics related to propulsion in aeronautics. He is the main developer of G3D::Flow, a massively parallel computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code designed for the simulation of both compressible and incompressible flows. G3D::Flow, which is implemented in C++, leverages solvers and distributed data types provided by the open-source PETSc library, advancing the capabilities of CFD simulations.
