Omri Ram

Congratulations to Zuckerman Faculty Scholar Omri Ram on opening the Transient Fluid Mechanics Laboratory in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.

Dr. Ram and his team study industrial and natural processes that are either limited by or rely on highly transient phenomena in fluid mechanics that involve high accelerations, rapid phase changes, or interfacial phenomena. They utilize recent technological advances in experimental techniques and develop new methodologies to enhance the fundamental understanding of such flow phenomena, whose complexity and vast spatio-temporal scales currently limit the ability to model and predict them. The topics studied in the lab have numerous and far-reaching applications to energy, fluids, and environmental systems.
