Pawel Jan Kosinski

Background

Pawel Jan Kosinski is a Polish researcher whose academic and professional work is based in Norway. He is affiliated with the University of Bergen's Faculty of Science and Technology and Department of Physics and Technology, where his research connects mechanical engineering, fluid mechanics, multiphase systems, process safety, and energy technology.

Career

Kosinski is a professor in the Department of Physics and Technology at the University of Bergen and is associated with the university's Energy and Process Technology research group. His professional work combines theoretical, experimental, and numerical research in multiphase flow, contact mechanics, fluid mechanics, particle transport, dust and explosion safety, nanofluids, hydrogen production, and solar-energy systems. His research has addressed particle-particle collisions, agglomeration and deposition, gas hydrates in pipelines, pneumatic conveying, dust explosions, erosion, photothermal conversion, direct-absorption solar collectors, and hydrogen production using nanofluids. At the University of Bergen he has also contributed to teaching in fluid mechanics and heat transfer and has served in leadership roles within the Energy and Process Technology research environment.

Achievements

• Developed and applied theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches to multiphase flow, particle mechanics, explosion safety, nanofluids, solar thermal systems, and hydrogen production.

• Authored Multiphase Flow with Solid Particles, an academic monograph on the physics and simulation of solid particles moving through fluids.
