Research

Mr. Borumand's research concerns experimental and numerical investigation of two-phase flow heat transfer for high heat flux applications including metal additive manufacturing and computational fluid dynamics. He is primarily focused on manufacturing and modelling of novel heterogeneous wick strucrues (porous media) with enhanced thermo-physical properties including smart process mapping of powder bed fusion metallic 3D printed wicks, pore-scale modeling of enhanced capillary flow in non-uniform wicks using lattice Boltzmann method, and mathematical modeling of critical heat flux in flow and pool boiling.
