Rate My Professor Shuisheng He

Shuisheng He’s research centers on fluid mechanics and heat transfer, combining computational fluid dynamics with experimental investigations. His interests encompass nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics, fundamental studies of turbulence, flow transition, and drag reduction, with extensions to fusion thermal hydraulics and carbon capture and storage. He leads the Heat, Flow and Turbulence Research Group (HeFT), contributing to projects including Sub-channel CFD for nuclear fuel bundles, liquid metal heat transfer in fast reactors, buoyancy-driven flows in high-temperature gas reactors, and supercritical water reactors under ECC-SMART (H2020). Funding sources include EPSRC, BEIS, US DOE, and industry partners like EDF. Key publications feature 'Simulations of thermal stratification during thermal transients in a test facility for sodium-cooled fast reactors' (Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2025), 'Prediction of heat transfer deterioration due to buoyancy' (International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2025), 'Impact of conjugate heat transfer on the turbulence and heat transfer in an upward heated pipe flow at supercritical pressure' (International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2024), 'LES of the upper plenum of the liquid metal fast reactor under the forced flow conditions' (Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2024), and 'Turbulence enhancement in body force opposed flows' (Physical Review Fluids, 2024). His contributions bridge academia and industry, advancing safety and efficiency in nuclear and fusion technologies.
