Pr. Samir HOUAT

University of Mostaganem, Algeria.

Samir Houat graduated from the University of Science and Technology of Oran (USTO)-Algeria, where he obtained a BEng degree in thermal energy in 1988, a Magister Degree with a thesis on the modelling study of heat and mass transfer in a tunnel greenhouse in 1991 and a PhD thesis on the study of hydrodynamic flows around the solid obstacles by mesoscopic method (LBM) in 2007. He first taught at the institute of physics at the University of Oran from 1991 to 1993 and then joined the department of mechanical engineering at the University of Mostaganem from 1993 until today. Currently, he leads a laboratory for numerical and experimental modelling of mechanical phenomena and also directs a research team who works on the analysis of heat and mass transfer phenomena in the fundamental field and its applications, including the use of the mesoscopic methods analysis based on lattice Boltzmann method.
