Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhihua Xie is a Reader in Computational Fluid Dynamics at Cardiff University with 13 years of academic and research experience spanning numerical modelling, turbulence and multiphase flows, hydrodynamics and environmental fluid mechanics. He progressed through roles from Lecturer to Senior Lecturer and now Reader, combining deep theoretical expertise with practical HPC and parallel computing skills for finite volume, finite difference and finite element methods. His work bridges coastal and hydraulic applications—water wave mechanics and computational hydraulics—often addressing complex environmental flow problems that require scalable simulation frameworks. Trained with a PhD from the University of Leeds and a B.Eng. in Environmental Engineering, he has a strong track record of multidisciplinary collaboration across UK institutions including Imperial College London. Notably, his research blends advanced turbulence modelling with high-performance implementations, enabling large-scale simulations of multiphase and coastal processes. Based in London, he brings both academic leadership and hands-on numerical development to computational fluid problems with environmental impact.
