Biography:
Serguei Timouchev was born in 1955, graduated from Moscow Aviation Institute in 1978.
Since 1980,
heworked for Buran space program and from 1992, within Moscow Aviation
Institute, for Arianne-Vulcain
project. He made many experimental and computational studies in the field of
pressure pulsation and vibration in centrifugal turbopump units of Liquid
Propellant Rocket Engines (LPRE), including reduction of pressure pulsation and
vibration caused by cavitation, reverse flows, acoustical amplification. In
1986, he proposed the original method for numerical modeling of pressure
pulsation in centrifugal machines.
The last decade
he works on the problem of computational prediction of pressure pulsation in centrifugal
pumps and ventilators and reduction of vibration and noise in such machines. In
2002-2004 he worked for EU scientific project NORMA on noise and vibration
reduction in high speed ships.
He received his Dr.Tech.Sc. degree in 1996 on numerical modeling of
pressure pulsation in centrifugal pumps. He is author and co-author of more than 100 scientific publications
and is an affiliate member of the INCE/Europe, member of IIAV and ASME.
Currently he
works as a professor of turbomachinery in Department 202 “Rocket Engines” and
head of Laboratory of Numerical Modeling in Scientific Research Center of New
Technologies in Moscow Aviation Institute.
