dr. P. Pourteimouri (Paran)

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Deltares and the University of Twente, working on the SALTISolutions project. My current research focuses on developing an Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) to evaluate mitigation strategies for salt intrusion and their effects on key indicators. The IAM facilitates stakeholder engagement and fosters a holistic understanding of delta systems. It is also used in the Delta Management Game (DMG), a serious gaming environment designed to support decision-making and enhance social learning in addressing salt intrusion challenges in the Rhine-Meuse delta system.

I hold a PhD in Coastal Engineering, during which I focused on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of airflow and aeolian sediment transport patterns around buildings at the beach-dune interface. My research involved developing a three-dimensional CFD model using OpenFOAM to simulate near-bed airflow patterns and their morphological impacts, considering various parameters such as building geometry, positioning on the beach, elevation on poles, and wind direction.

My expertise includes numerical modeling, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), airflow around buildings, aeolian sediment transport, integrated assessment models, and decision-support tools for coastal and delta management. I am passionate about bridging the gap between science and practice to create sustainable and collaborative solutions for real-world challenges.
