Profile
Biography
My name is Frits de Prenter and I am an Assistant Professor in the Aeroacoustics team of the Wind Energy section. My research interests involve various aspects of the development and analysis of numerical and computational methods in engineering. I particularly focus on Computational Aeroacoustics Methodologies, which can be applied for the development of noise mitigation techniques in different applications.I obtained MSc degrees in Mechanical Engineering and in Applied Mathematics in 2015 and I obtained a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2019, all from the TU Eindhoven. During my PhD I mainly worked on Immersed Methods in Computational Mechanics and Computational Fluid Dynamics and on and the (pre-)conditioning of linear systems derived from these. From 2019 until 2022 I was a researcher and engineering consultant at the company Research Development Netherlands ( Reden), where I worked on the modeling and simulation of various physical processes. I started my current position at TU Delft in 2022.
Awards
I obtained a personal grant for my PhD from NWO under the Graduate Programme in Fluid and Solid Mechanics. My PhD thesis was awarded the distinction cum laude, the Biezeno Award for the best thesis in Engineering Mechanics from T he Royal Netherlands Society of Engineers ( KIVI), and the ECCOMAS PhD Award for the best thesis from the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences.Expertise

De interactie tussen stromingen en omstroomde objecten simuleren in computermodellen
Het gebruik van computermodellen voor stromingen is essentieel voor een groot aantal toepassingen in de techniek en wetenschap, bijvoorbeeld voor het ontwerpen van windmolens. De Lattice Boltzmann Methode (LBM) is een veel gebruikte methode op dit gebied. Deze methode heeft echter een fundamentele zwakte, namelijk de manier waarop het effect van de omgeving op de stroming wordt voorgeschreven, bijvoorbeeld de wrijving tussen de stroming en windmolenbladen. In STABILIZE, ontwikkel ik een computeralgoritme dat deze interactie op een andere manier voorschrijft, en daarmee de zwakte op een fundamentele manier verhelpt. Dit vergroot de nauwkeurigheid en betrouwbaarheid van stromingsberekeningen.
