Areas of interest:

1. Computaional gas dynamics : Couple of computer programs capable of solving compressible chemically reacting flows are developed by me during my doctoral study. The programs have features of turbulence modeling (RANS) and are able to solve problems in two and three dimensions.

2. Two-phase flow simulations: A two dimensional computer program is being developed recently to solve two-phase problems.The program is used to understaand the flow physics involving interaction between shock wave and a water column, the evaporation rate of a 1 mm diameter droplet when heat by a shock wave, ignition and subsequent chemical reactions/combustiom upon evaporation.

3. Unstructured grid generation: Fluid flow problems with coplicated geometries are difficult/impossible to solve using structured grids. Hence recently a Matlab program is being developed based on the work of Per-olof Persson to generate unstructured grids. The program requires little computer resource to generate unstructured grids in domains of significant coplexity.

4. Radiative heat transfer: A two dimensional computer program is developed to study radiative heat transfer is high temperature flows. Efforts are underway to include equilibrium and non-equilibrium radiative models.

5. LES of chemically reacting flows: A 3-dimensional in-house computer program is developed to study laser ignition of combustible mixture.
6. Chemically reacting flows: A two dimensional computer program is developed to study tulip inversion in a premixed flame.
