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

His primary areas of study are Mechanics, Secondary flow, Open-channel flow, Hydrology and Curvature. Koen Jacques Ferdinand Blanckaert works in the field of Mechanics, focusing on Turbulence in particular. His Open-channel flow research incorporates themes from Flow separation and Flow velocity.

Koen Jacques Ferdinand Blanckaert has included themes like Inflow, Grassland and Geomorphology in his Hydrology study. His work on Beach morphodynamics as part of general Geomorphology research is frequently linked to Plateau, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Flow, Flume, Meander and Bank erosion in addition to Curvature.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Flow separation at convex banks in open channels (24 citations)
• Dynamic investigation of nutrient consumption and injection strategy in microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) by means of large-scale experiments (16 citations)
• A parametrical study on secondary flow in sharp open-channel bends: experiments and theoretical modelling (13 citations)

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

• Mechanics
• Ecology
• Hydrology

His primary areas of investigation include Secondary flow, Saturation, Open-channel flow, Curvature and Froude number. Mechanics and Turbulence are the subject areas of his Secondary flow study. His Flow separation, Pressure gradient, Pressure-gradient force and Mean flow study in the realm of Mechanics interacts with subjects such as Energy flux.

His Turbulence research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vorticity equation, Classical mechanics and Current. Saturation is integrated with Flow, Dimensionless quantity, Geometry, Flume and Pulp and paper industry in his study.
