What I Work On

Research Interests

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

High-fidelity numerical simulations of complex fluid flow phenomena using advanced CFD methods.

Supersonic Jet Flows

Experimental and computational studies of jet behaviour, Mach estimation, and multi-jet interactions.

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)

MHD duct flows, flow stability in strong magnetic fields, and cylinder wake structures.

Flow Stability & Transition

Linear stability analysis of confined flows around sharp bends and complex geometries.

Wake-Induced Vibration & Energy Harvesting

Harnessing vortex-induced vibrations for sustainable piezoelectric energy generation.

Passive Flow Control

Base pressure control, cavity-based methods, and D-shaped rib configurations at supersonic speeds.
