Biography

Scott Ormiston is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba. His research primarily concentrates on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and strongly coupled heat and mass transfer phenomena. His group has developed in-house codes for sharp interface two-phase models related to falling films and adjacent gas mixtures, focusing on condensation, evaporation, and absorption phenomena. He has employed commercial software such as CFX, Fluent, and STAR-CCM for both single-phase and two-phase flow simulations across various industry-related applications. His work seeks to enhance models for turbulent flow problems and develop new two-phase flow modeling methods applicable in diverse fields such as power generation, refrigeration, and chemical processing. Ormiston actively seeks graduate students specializing in fluid mechanics and heat transfer, promoting skill development in developing CFD computer codes and applying commercial CFD software.
