Numerical Study of Flow Behaviour & Wind Loads on Pitched Roof Buildings

To numerically study the flow behaviour and Investigate the reasons for the lifting up & loss of roof tiles near the spirelet section of a pitched roof building.

Multiphysics Modelling of Aircraft’s Fuel Tank Dynamic Failure

To investigate the accident involving the Air France Concorde in year 2000, where the effects of fluid structure interactions resulting from the impact of a fluid filled tank became a cause for concern.

Numerical Analyses of Flow Mixing in T shape Passive Micro Mixer

To study the effects of geometric and flow parameters variation on mixing of low Reynolds number fluids in passive micro mixers.

Multiphysics Modelling of Footwear and Ground Interaction

Good slip resistant tread patterns of the outer-sole of a military boot are vital to minimize the risk or severity of slip in combat and physical training situations. This study was aimed at how plastic failure of soil mass develops between the relative rigid boot outer-sole (cleats) and soft soil surfaces.
