Institute of Fluid Dynamics
ETH Zurich
Leonhard Kleiser has been a full Professor of Fluid Mechanics at the Institute
of Fluid Dynamics of ETH Zurich since 1994.
After studying mathematics and physics at the University of Freiburg, he
worked for six
years as a scientific staff member at the Karlsruhe Research Center, where
he was involved with the development of numerical methods and numerical
flow simulations. In 1982 he received the doctorate in Mechanical
Engineering (Dr.-Ing.)
from the University of Karlsruhe (TH). That same year he transferred to the
German Aerospace Research Establishment (DLR) at the Gottingen Research
Center,
where he took responsibility for building up the «Transition and
Turbulence» research group
at the Institute for Theoretical Fluid Mechanics.
Prof. Kleiser's main research areas are turbulent flows and
laminar-turbulent transition,
which are investigated by direct and large-eddy simulations, and the
development
of high-resolution numerical methods. He is currently Chairman of the EUROMECH
European Turbulence Conference Committee and
President of the Swiss ERCOFTAC Pilot Center.
