Masters Research

“Exact solution of stable inviscid vortical flow inside a two-dimensional rectangular chamber with

inlet and outlet” (Thesis Title)

Objectives and application:

Analysis of vortical circulations or vortices inside a rectangular channel where flow enters

via an opening and exits to the ambient atmosphere.

Use of MATLAB and ANSYS for the analysis and results.

Applications: Domestic cross circulation, exhaust channels and combustion chambers.

Doctoral Research

“Dynamics of a sphere in mildly inertial flow with low but finite Reynolds number in narrow

cylinder” (Dissertation Title)

Objectives and application:

Calculate the radial lift on a suspended particle due to fluid inertia when it moves inside

highly viscous flow in a narrow cylinder.

Evaluate the drift velocity for suspended sphere when it moves radially inside a narrow

tube.

Estimate the probability of finding the particle in specific radial position.

Use of FORTRAN as the coding tool and CFD/ANSYS for the analysis.

Application: Separation of particles with different size ratios especially in bio-fluidic or

micro-fluidic channels.
