Dr Ralf Deiterding is a Associate Professor in Fluid Dynamics within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.

My primary interest is the development of innovative, but reliable, solution algorithms for computational fluid dynamics. I am particularly interested in massively parallel Cartesian automatically adapted methods for hypersonic and weakly compressible flows with fluid-structure interaction and/or multi-physics coupling.
