Prof. Håkan Nilsson

My name is Håkan Nilsson. I'm a full professor at the Department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences, Division of Fluid Dynamics, at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. I finished my PhD the 30th of August 2002 where I studied the turbulent flow in water turbine runners numerically. The main topics of the work were Kaplan tip clearance flow and wake flow behind runner blades and guide vanes. For this purpose I have extended a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code to handle multiblock calculations in parallel. Since 2005 I have focused on the use of the OpenFOAM and FOAM-extend OpenSource CFD codes, and my research has become much wider.

You can find me at Hörsalsvägen 7A, Gothenburg, Sweden. Enter the door, go through the building to the second stairway, go up one floor, enter the glass door, and find my office first to the left.
