Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanics
  • Mechanical engineering

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mechanics, Fluidization, Mineralogy, Thermodynamics and Cyclone. His Mechanics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Meteorology, Work and Classical mechanics. His Fluidization research incorporates elements of Particle mixing, Particle transport, Composite material, Bubble and Particle segregation.

His study in Mineralogy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Packed bed, Electrolyte and Particle-size distribution, Particle size. His work on Wake as part of his general Thermodynamics study is frequently connected to Binary number and Methanol, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. In his study, Pressure drop, Scaling, Turbulence and Cylinder is inextricably linked to Computational fluid dynamics, which falls within the broad field of Cyclone.

His most cited work include:

  • Dynamic properties of water/alcohol mixtures studied by computer simulation (213 citations)
  • Gas Cyclones and Swirl Tubes: Principles, Design, and Operation (167 citations)
  • PARTICLE SEGREGATION IN FLUIDISED BINARY MIXTURES (121 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Mechanics, Particle, Computational fluid dynamics, Vortex and Cyclone. His research in Mechanics intersects with topics in Fluidization and Classical mechanics. The various areas that Alex C. Hoffmann examines in his Fluidization study include Mineralogy and Bubble.

His work deals with themes such as Shock wave, Work, Two-phase flow and Particle size, which intersect with Particle. His Computational fluid dynamics study incorporates themes from Large eddy simulation, Mechanical engineering and Simulation. Alex C. Hoffmann has included themes like Meteorology, Vortex tube and Inlet velocity in his Cyclone study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (51.10%)
  • Particle (18.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Mechanics (51.10%)
  • Computational fluid dynamics (15.38%)
  • Classical mechanics (12.09%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Alex C. Hoffmann mainly investigates Mechanics, Computational fluid dynamics, Classical mechanics, Vortex and Turbulence. Alex C. Hoffmann interconnects Particle and Simulation in the investigation of issues within Mechanics. His research on Computational fluid dynamics also deals with topics like

  • Flow which intersects with area such as Work,
  • Fluid dynamics most often made with reference to Mechanical engineering.

His study on Classical mechanics also encompasses disciplines like

  • Separator which is related to area like Computer simulation and Finite volume method,
  • Thermal conduction which is related to area like Viscoelasticity. His work carried out in the field of Vortex brings together such families of science as Cyclone, Inlet, Core, Volumetric flow rate and Position. He combines subjects such as Flammable liquid, Particle-size distribution, Particle size and Dust explosion with his study of Turbulence.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Particle flow in a hydrocyclone investigated by positron emission particle tracking (34 citations)
  • Experimental study and computational fluid dynamics modeling of deposition of hydrate particles in a pipeline with turbulent water flow (32 citations)
  • The collision efficiency in a shear flow (29 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanics
  • Mechanical engineering

Alex C. Hoffmann spends much of his time researching Mechanics, Computational fluid dynamics, Vortex, Turbulence and Multiphase flow. His Mechanics research includes themes of Volume fraction, Thermodynamics and Classical mechanics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Separator, Volumetric flow rate and Dissipative system in addition to Classical mechanics.

His Computational fluid dynamics study combines topics in areas such as Large eddy simulation, Liquid viscosity and Flow. The Multiphase flow study combines topics in areas such as Economies of agglomeration, Deposition, Lagrangian particle tracking and Petroleum engineering. The concepts of his Hydrocyclone study are interwoven with issues in Viscous liquid, Pressure drop, Intensity and Simulation.
