Scholar-generated biography
Iskender Sahin is a researcher in Fluid Mechanics with a focus on hydrodynamic analysis and numerical simulation. His work explores the behavior of fluids in various contexts, including underwater vehicles, submerged bodies, and free-surface flows. He has conducted studies on wave elevation, bottom pressure, and hydrodynamic loads, employing methods such as SPH and Finite–Volume techniques. His research also extends to atmospheric dynamics, such as the tenuous atmosphere on Callisto. Sahin's contributions include investigations into the interaction between fluid flow and structural elements, as well as the development of numerical methods for solving complex fluid dynamics problems.
