Guillaume Blanquart
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
B.S., M.S., Ecole Polytechnique, 2002; M.S., Stanford University, 2004; Ph.D., 2008; Assistant Professor, Caltech, 2009-15; Professor, 2015-.
Research interests: combustion, laminar & turbulent flames, subgrid scale modeling, computational fluid dynamics
Overview
Guillaume Blanquart focuses on modeling the interactions between combustion processes and turbulent flows. At the center of the work are fundamental problems such as the formation of pollutants, the effects of turbulence on the dynamics of nano-particles, and various hydrodynamic and flame instabilities.
