Benedict Rogers

Benedict Rogers is a Professor at The University of Manchester, Department of Civil Engineering. His research focuses on computational hydrodynamics, including the development and application of simulations for free-surface flows, hydrodynamics, and multi-phase mixing phenomena. He holds a MEng (Hons) and DPhil (Oxon) and has worked at institutions such as Johns Hopkins University and Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne. He is a founding member of SPHERIC, an international organization for smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), and a core developer of open-source SPH codes. His work includes numerical simulation and experimental investigation of coastal hydrodynamics, natural hazards, and the use of advanced computing hardware.

Benedict Rogers is a researcher at the University of Manchester specializing in computational fluid dynamics, particularly in the application of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) for free-surface flows. His work focuses on developing and validating numerical models for complex fluid dynamics problems, including wave-body interactions, sediment transport, and coastal engineering. Rogers has contributed significantly to the advancement of SPH methods through the creation of open-source solvers like DualSPHysics and the integration of high-performance computing techniques such as GPU acceleration. His research emphasizes the simulation of real-world phenomena, including flood modeling and marine structures, with a strong emphasis on accuracy and efficiency.
