About my research

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.

Current research topics

• High-order discontinuity-capturing scheme (LAD 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.
