We are hiring!! apply soon<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At ClusterDEM<\/strong>, we are dedicated to pioneering multiphysics flow research<\/strong>, combining computational modeling and experimental validation<\/strong> to push the boundaries of aerospace propulsion, fluid dynamics, and advanced engineering systems. Founded in 2009 by Prof. Jos\u00e9 C. P\u00e1scoa<\/strong>, our research group has grown into a dynamic center of excellence, now coordinated by Prof. Mohammadmahdi Abdollahzadehsangroudi<\/strong> and Prof. Rodrigues<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A State-of-the-Art Laboratory for Multiphysics Research<\/h3>\n

ClusterDEM Lab<\/strong>, part of the C-MAST \u2013 Centre for Mechanical and Aerospace Sciences and Technologies<\/strong><\/a> at the University of Beira Interior<\/strong><\/a>, is equipped with High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters<\/strong> and advanced experimental facilities<\/strong> to conduct cutting-edge research in:
\n\u2714 Transitional, turbulent, and high-speed compressible flows<\/strong>
\n\u2714 Magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) flows<\/strong>
\n\u2714 Plasma-assisted flow control and propulsion<\/strong>
\nOur approach integrates numerical simulations<\/strong> with experimental validation<\/strong>, ensuring that our research leads to real-world innovations.<\/p>\n

Research & Applications<\/h3>\n

Our studies cover a broad range of applications, including:
\n\ud83d\ude80 MPD Thrusters<\/strong> \u2013 Revolutionizing space propulsion systems
\n\u2699 Inverse Gas Turbine Blade Design<\/strong> \u2013 Enhancing efficiency and performance
