Biography
Steffen Basting is a Research Associate at the chair of Applied Mathematics and Numerics at TU Dortmund University. He has previously worked at Friedrich-Alexander University as a Research Assistant, and at University of Houston as a Research Scholar. His research interests are focused on the Finite Element Method applied to problems in fluid dynamics, particularly problems involving free- and moving boundaries. Applications range from fluid-/structure interaction problems such as the simulation of blood flow around heart valves to the simulation of propellants in rocket tanks.
Research Interest
Numerical methods for free boundary value problems: Interface tracking and capturing methods, Numerical methods for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, Efficient solution strategies for finite-element discretizations of higher order, Grid generation and optimization strategies, Applications: multi-phase flows, fluid-structure interaction, particle-bearing flows.
