Transient Flow Lab
The Transient Flow Lab (TFL) undertake research in the area of general Fluid Mechanics and in particular on unsteady turbulent flow. Numerical and experimental approaches are being used to investigate wide range of applied as well as fundamental flow problems. The main research interests are as below:
- Unsteady turbulent flow (Numerical: DNS/LES; Experiment: PIV/LDV) (Smooth-wall, Rough wall).
- Blood flow.
- Hydrodynamics.
- Marine Renewable Energy.
- Turbulent flow over rough surfaces.
Our research
Study of transient-transient turbulent flow over rough surfaces
