Pr. Habib SAMMOUDA

Sousse University, Tunisia.

Pr. Habib Sammouda is a full Professor at Sousse University, and Higher School of Sciences and Technology of Hammam Sousse (ESSTHS), Tunisia. Director of Energy and Materials Laboratory (LabEM) LR11ES34, and Former Director of the Higher Institute of Technological Studies of Sousse. President of the Committee of the Master Research in Physics at the ESSTHSousse in Sousse University (2011-2014), and President of the PhD committee in Engineering Physics at the ESSTHSousse, in Sousse University (2015).

His research area could be summarized, between Experimental and Numerical ones, as follows: Transfer Phenomena at high temperature in solar rotary kiln filled with porous medium, Reflected Radiance distribution law for a 1000KW thermal solar furnace system, Numerical models based on finite elements method in two and three dimensions (Fortran programs), Heat and mass transfer in open cavity (rotary kiln) partially filled with porous media and subject to concentrated solar radiation, Thermosolutal convection in porous media: application to pollution, Heat transfer in porous media and composite materials, Coolants heat exchanger associated to solar photovoltaic cells sensor (PVT, CPVT), Analyse of Wood Plastic Composites (WPC), Smart Buildings , Smart Materials, PCM materials (CPVT/MCP).

Recently its interest is focused on the characterization and the exploration of the correlation existing between the energy and the material along its elaboration or its adhesion to the storage operation, particularly in phase change materials and this, at two scales level. He continues to contribute for the amelioration of the convergence and the stability of Finite Element method in CFD simulations with complex fluids. The amelioration of efficiency of PV sensor PV, by proposition of exchange system PVT, and a new materials cell exposed to concentrated solar radiation CPVT in the aim to the manufacturing of domestic CPVT sensor. He contributed to supervise more than 50 master’s Thesis, 30 PHD’s Thesis, and authors of more than 50 publications in impacted journals. He is as reviewer in some specifically journals as: Porous Media, solar energy, Energy conversion and Management.
