Dean Wilson

Dean Wilson is a Lecturer in Fluid Mechanics at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The University of Manchester. His research focuses on computational fluid dynamics, turbulence, nuclear thermal hydraulics, and magnetohydrodynamics. Wilson holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Computational Modelling of Turbulent Magnetohydrodynamic Flow from The University of Manchester. His work contributes to Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 9. He is involved in projects related to advanced porous media models for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors and thermal-hydraulic analysis of lead-cooled fast reactors. Wilson is also engaged in collaborative research and has contributed to several peer-reviewed publications and conference proceedings.

Dean Wilson is a researcher at the University of Manchester with expertise in Magnetohydrodynamics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, and Turbulence Modelling. His work focuses on numerical simulations of natural convection cooling loops, turbulence model performance in nuclear reactor subchannels, and the application of Reynolds stress transport models to flows influenced by Lorentz and buoyancy forces. He has also contributed to thermal-hydraulic analysis of lead-cooled fast reactors, CFD modelling of lead solidification and natural convection, and conjugate heat transfer in underground salt caverns. His research addresses challenges in nuclear passive cooling systems and industrial heat transfer applications.
