        Research and Professional Activity

        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.
