Combustion and Computational Fluid Dynamics: 

• I am interested in application of computational fluid dynamic methods, numerical analysis, and experimental methods to the problems involving combustion, heat transfer, multiphase flows, and atomization.
• I have worked on hydrogen energy, furnace combustion, airblast atomization, impinging jet atomization, and trickle bed reactors.
• I currently focus on the following problems with emphasis on modeling of transient conditions:
  • Microthrusters:
    • Mixing and transition of deflagration to detonation in ethylene-oxygen system
    • Gas dynamics and film cooling in MMH-NTO system
    • HTP catalytic decomposition and thrust generation
    • Vaporizing liquid microthruster
  • HAN: Thermal decomposition of high-temperature blend of HAN
  • Combustion instability: Atomization of vaporizing LOX jet in crossflow, transverse combustion instability
  • Cryogenic solid propellants: Casting of carbon monoxide propellant

Research Keywords: atomization, combustion, combustion instability, computational fluid dynamics, design of experiments, energy conversion, exergy analyses, heat transfer, hydrogen, laminar jets, mass transfer, mathematical modeling, microthrusters, multiphase flows, multi step kinetics, reacting flows, sprays, swirling flows, turbulent jets, discrete phase model, volume of fluid method
