 Pavlos Aleiferis

Professor Pavlos Aleiferis

Professor of Thermofluids

p.aleiferis@imperial.ac.uk

+44 (0)20 7594 7032

My research interests are in the field of turbulent multiphase flows and heat transfer, covering injection and spray formation, chemical reactions, cavitation, flash boiling and supercritical conditions, using Laser-based optical diagnostic techniques and computational fluid dynamics. Applications are diverse, including sustainable fuels and hydrogen for low-carbon propulsion technologies and thermofluid aspects of electrification of transport.
