Research Experience
| Research Interests : | Hydrodynamic stability, Flow-through porous media, Electroosmotic flow, Heat and mass transfer in microchannels, CFD, antibubbles | |
| Brief Research Statement : | My research interest is in the study of heat and mass transfer at the Interfaces of gas-liquid-solid at the micro-scale. Hydrodynamic stability analysis in thin-film flows in planar and cylindrical objects is very important to avoid or giving special patterns. Marangoni flow is an important feature of heated micro-scale fluid flows. My interest is to play with Marangoni stress in the electroosmotic flows, porous media, air/gas shell of antibubbles, etc. Also, my research interests are in enhancing thermal and mass mixing in microchannels taking advantage of secondary flow. |
