Research Areas

Particulate and multiphase flows can be encountered in a variety of industrial problems and are regarded as multi-scale and multi-physics phenomena. The group has developed a number of cutting-edge numerical models for simulating such complex flow problems, which can be broadly classified as:

• Detailed Fluid-Particle Flows
• Averaged Fluid-Particle Flows
• Particulate Flows
• Simulation speed-up
