Background
Dr Seungin Min is a Research Fellow in Aircraft Icing Simulation in the Centre for Aeronautics, Propulsion & Power, developing numerical models and CFD methods for in-flight icing. His expertise spans surface roughness modelling, icing on rotating bodies such as rotorcraft and wind turbines, and Supercooled Large Droplet (SLD) phenomena, supported by both high-fidelity simulation and icing wind tunnel experiments.
Research opportunities
Aircraft in-flight icing; numerical simulation of ice accretion; roughness-induced boundary layer transition; icing on rotating bodies (rotorcraft and wind turbines); Supercooled Large Droplet (SLD) physics and characterisation; Eulerian and Lagrangian droplet impingement methods; icing wind tunnel experimentation; reduced-order modelling for icing prediction; CFD solver development for multiphase icing flows.
Current activities
Dr Seungin Min's current activities as a Research Fellow in the Aircraft Icing team at Cranfield University include: high-fidelity CFD simulation of in-flight icing on modern transport aircraft in collaboration with international industry and research partners; development of custom OpenFOAM solvers for Supercooled Large Droplet (SLD) icing; research on roughness-induced boundary layer transition and ice accretion modelling; and combined numerical and experimental investigation of SLD icing characteristics. He supervises MSc thesis projects in OpenFOAM-based solver development and supports icing wind tunnel test campaign preparation.
