Research
Areas of Research Interest:
Hydrodynamic Stability, Ferrohydrodynamics, Nanofluids, Non-Newtonian Fluids, Fluid Instabilities & Flow through Porous Media. Most of the work is concentrated to thermal convection problems on magnetic fluids (water based and ester based). Porous medium studies on models based on Darcy, Brinkman law are considered. Penetrative convection in layer based on different models is explored. Variety of possible variations including thermal non-equlibrium, anisotropy, rotation, salt, gravity are made.
There is a lot of open scope in near future to be explored.
