computational fluid dynamics, high-speed turbulent mixing, combustion modeling,
flow instability, transition and control of turbulent flows.
My current research focuses on the detailed physical understanding of compressible
turbulent mixing and combustion using large-eddy simulation and the developing
high-order discontinuity capturing numerics.
• High-order discontinuity-capturing scheme (LADG scheme)
A simple and efficient localized artificial diffusivity scheme is
developed for the purpose of capturing discontinuities
using a high-order compact differencing scheme.
The method is intended for use with
LES of compressible turbulent flows involving shocks, contact surfaces,
material discontinuities, turbulence and their interactions.

• LES of jet mixing in a supersonic crossflow
High-order compact differencing based LES coupled with localized artificial diffusivity
are employed to get further insights into the physics
of an under-expanded sonic jet mixing into a supersonic crossflow.

• LES of non-premixed turbulent combustion
LES of non-premixed turbulent combustion in a supersonic crossflow is
performed in order to understand the physics of fuel mixing and its combustion
including the mechanisms of local ignition and extinction.
