Background

Dr Alexander Klimenko’s research interests are in: Multiscale phenomena, Reacting flows, Turbulence, Energy and Coal, Technology and its Cycles, Complex Competitive Systems, Analytical and Computational Methods.

Dr Klimenko lectures in Mechanical Engineering within the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering.

He received his PhD from Moscow University in 1991 and his DEng from the University of Queensland in 2007.

Dr Klimenko has made an outstanding contribution to theory and computation of reacting flows: the conditional equations introduced by him proved to be a most efficient toll in simulation or multiscale phenomena of different nature. His models and approaches (CMC,MMC,IDFE, PCMC theory of RCLand others) have resulted in dramatic improvements in efficiency of simulations and are used and recognized worldwide.

Available projects

  • Systems analysis of technological change (in general and in energy production)

    Although this may not be universally accepted by economists, we have clear signs of a new technological surge, at least when looking from the engineering perspective. This surge is expected to bring numerous technological shifts (especially in the energy area) and, most likely, yet another acceleration of the pace of technological progress.

  • Various aspects of turbulent combustion modelling

    Investigation involving most recent and promising models designed to deal with turbulent combustion.

    Various applications and techniques can be involved.

  • Hydrogen production and utilisation

    This project deals with large-scale production of hydrogen from renewable and mixed sources, as well as its distribution and use, including hydrogen burners.

  • Tornadoes and cyclones in atmosphere

    Investigation in Fluid Mechanics aspects of atmospheric vortices involving collecting and analyzing the data and, in future, may be some simple simulations.
