Mohsen Sharifpur

Mohsen Sharifpur is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, University of Pretoria, South Africa. He is the establisher and Head of Nanofluid Research Laboratory. His research includes mathematical modelling, thermal fluid behaviour and stability of nanofluids, improvement of heat transfer by nanofluids, convective multiphase flow, computational fluid dynamics, and Fluid Dynamics from Nanoscale to Universe scale. He is an innovative thinker and, based on fluid dynamics, constructal law, nature and patterns in nature, and cosmology data, he invented a new general and multidiscipline theory as “Source and Sink Theory”. His general-multidiscipline theory has the potential to describe the early universe better than previous theories, and the link to the online article is https://dx-doi-org.ucc.idm.oclc.org/10.22606/tp.2020.51001. He believes his theory is the case for the future. He has published more than 300 articles, conference papers and book chapters, and has been supervised more than 30 research masters and PhD students, as well as postdoctoral researchers.
