Biography

Ahmed Kouidri is an associate professor in USTHB, he received his Ph.D in mechanical engineering: Thermo-fluids from USTHB. His research focus on transport phenomena through consolidated and unconsolidated porous media; especially metallic foam. And that during both convection and flow boiling. He is interested also in numerical simulation of flow boiling and prediction of flow pattern.
