Thomas Abadie is an Assistant Professor at the University of Birmingham.
His research mainly focuses on fluid mechanics, multiphase flows and the modelling of interfacial phenomena, with a particular interest on bubble dynamics, complex fluids, surface active agents and interfacial transfer with application to both environmental (e.g. water resources) and industrial (e.g. formulation engineering) challenges.
Using both experimental characterisation (imaging, Particle Imaging Velocimetry) and numerical simulations (interface capturing/tracking, Discrete Particle Methods), Thomas’ research activities include bubbly flows across different scales, from microreactors to aeration/flotation tanks and electrolysers; drop generation in jetting/spraying; and mixing of complex fluids.
