Markus Bussmann is a researcher in Mechanical & Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto, specializing in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), materials processing, interfacial flows, and droplets and sprays. His work focuses on modeling complex fluid behaviors, such as droplet impact, splashing, and interfacial dynamics, using advanced numerical methods like the volume-of-fluid (VOF) approach. He has contributed to the development of models for dynamic contact angles, high-density ratio simulations, and multiphase flow analysis. His research also extends to applications in materials science, including plasma spray coating and melt spinning processes, with an emphasis on understanding fluid-structure interactions and heat transfer phenomena.
