Researcher assistant
Researcher assistant since 2021
In 2021 he joined the Scientific Instrumentation Centre, at LNEC, as a Researcher Assistant. Over the years he has participated in several studies with the objective of evaluating the operating conditions of installations, aiming of improving the performance of the equipment. His activity has been focused mainly in the area of smoke control in naturally ventilated tunnels (tunnels without mechanical ventilation). In this context, He continued the work started previously, using an open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code, fireFOAM, to conduct Large Eddy Simulations (LES). The numerical model was validated by simulating an experimental test and comparing it with experimental results.
