Dr. Ibrahim Jarrah is an associate R&D staff member, with a focus on thermal hydraulics, within the Multiphysics CFD Applications group. His work focuses on advanced modeling and simulation for fusion, fission, and energy systems. Before joining ORNL, Dr. Jarrah was a Postdoctoral Appointee in the Multiphysics Computation Section at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), where he specialized in high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD), high-order numerical methods, and nuclear system simulations.
He holds a Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a B.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering from the Jordan University of Science and Technology. His expertise includes the development of CFD codes, application of coarse-mesh and high-order methods, and Monte Carlo simulations for nuclear systems, radiation transport, and shielding.
Dr. Jarrah is a recipient of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) Mark Mills Award for his doctoral research on the nodal integral method and the Argonne Impact Award for Innovation for his development of a novel gaseous mixing model for Â鶹ӰÒô combustion engine applications.
