dr.ir. J.S. Smink (Jan Siemen)

I am an assistant professor in the Fluid Mechanics for Functional Materials group within the Thermal and Fluid Engineering department. My research interests are broad, but are focused on the dynamics of solidifying liquid jets, branched fluidic networks and supersonic flow. Here, I work especially on a combination of experimental and theoretical work.

On 2 April 2025, I successfully defended my PhD thesis within the Engineering Fluid Dynamics group, titled: "On the dynamics of jets and branched fluidic networks". This thesis consists of studies to liquid and sonic gaseous jets, and their upscaling via branched fluidic networks.

In November 2020, I graduated in the Engineering Fluid Dynamics group of the University of Twente for my study Mechanical Engineering. The Master Thesis was titled: "Investigation of Behaviour of Jet Shear Layer in Tandem Dual Jet Injection in Supersonic Crossflow using Schlieren Images". This was an experimental study in the supersonic wind tunnel facility of the Engineering Fluid Dynamics group.
