Tropical cyclone fundamentals: The rotating-convection paradigm
Understanding how tropical cyclones form, intensify, mature and decay requires first and foremost a conceptual model. Without such (...)

Particles floating on turbulent water
Every year, millions of tons of plastics enter the ocean. Devising effective strategies to mitigate such pollution requires the quantitative understanding (...)

Towards internal gravity wave turbulence: wave-wave and wave-mean flow interactions
Internal gravity waves are waves propagating in stratified fluids (i.e. fluids in which density varies with (...)

Simulation of High-Speed atomization down to the sheet breakup scale
I will explore various aspects of atomization, starting with the simulation and linear stability theory (both spatial and (...)

Investigating Particle-Laden gravity currents using the Light Attenuation Technique
Particle-laden gravity currents (PLGCs) such as turbidity currents are commonly encountered in estuaries where (...)

Inertial effects vs lubrication limit: Bubble rise and Liquid drag-out
A single bubble rise in a Hele-Shaw cell and the so-called Landau-Levich drag-out flow are two canonical problems in Stokes (...)

Interaction between capillary waves and hydrodynamic turbulence in a wall-bounded oil-water flow
We use pseudo-spectral Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), coupled with a Phase-Field Method (...)

Gas separation using aqueous foams
Processes for separating gas mixtures using membranes are less energy-consuming than those based on thermal processes such as distillation. To optimize (...)

Simulations of mass transport in liquid metal batteries
Liquid metal batteries (LMBs) are a promising candidate for storing electrical energy at the grid scale. An LMB is a fully molten (...)

Inertial particle dynamics across flows, from channel turbulence to impinging jets
Small and heavy particles dispersed in flows are prevalent in environmental and industrial processes, and they (...)
