Meet the Editors of Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics

Editor-in-Chief: Prof Vassilis Theofilis

I have served as Editor-in-Chief of Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics since January 2022. My research interests lie in the understanding, prediction and control of physical mechanisms underlying laminar flow linear and nonlinear instability and laminar-turbulent transition from the incompressible to the hypersonic regime. In my early career I pioneered theoretical/numerical developments to address instability of flows with multiple inhomogeneous spatial directions based on the continuum flow equations. Motivated by increased global interest in hypersonic flow physics phenomena, in recent years I have turned my attention to the intersection of statistical and continuum descriptions of hypersonic flows in the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere. I joined the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Technion in 2024, where I perform integrated theoretical and experimental research to advance fundamental flow physics knowledge and pave the way for next-generation flight vehicles.
