Meissam Bahlali

I am a researcher in fluid mechanics and applied mathematics, currently working at Imperial College London.


Over the past few years, I have worked on theoretical and numerical issues in fluid mechanics, with applications to different physical problems.

My research interests have focused on:

  • stochastic models in fluid mechanics, turbulent particle dispersion dynamics; applications to meteorology and atmospheric flows

  • unstructured adaptive mesh modelling for density-dependent flow and scalar transport in complex porous media; applications to saline intrusion into coastal aquifers, large scale copper transport in sedimentary basins, geological storage of CO2

  • lattice Boltzmann methods for the moving boundary problem; applications to aerodynamics and aeroacoustics
