Sajad Jafari

I am a researcher in the Chemical Engineering Department at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, with a strong background in applied multiphase flow modeling and real-fluid thermodynamics. I completed my PhD in mid- 2022 at CentraleSupélec, Paris Saclay Université, where my work—conducted in close collaboration with different industries—focused on simulating multiphase flows at both laboratory and industrial scales. This included modeling droplet and jet sprays with multicomponent evaporation and condensation, using real-fluid equations of state. 

My core expertise includes mathematical modeling, numerical simulation, and physical analysis of two-phase reactive flows, heat and mass transfer, fuel atomization, and phase-change phenomena in complex multicomponent systems. I have hands-on experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), thermodynamic modeling, Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), and other advanced simulation techniques, with a focus on real-world engineering applications and process optimization.

Currently, my research is centered on CFD modeling of carbon dioxide (CO₂) absorption and desorption to support the development of post-combustion carbon capture technologies. I also work on high-fidelity simulations of turbulent, reactive phase-change processes—such as multicomponent evaporation and condensation—using real-fluid thermodynamics, aimed at enhancing the efficiency and design of chemical and energy systems.
