Our Research Areas

Fluid-Structure Interactions

Exploring how flexible structures interact with fluid flows, from fluttering wings to oscillating valves, to reveal rich dynamics.

Drag Reduction Using Bubbles

Harnessing the power of microscopic bubbles to minimize drag, enhance efficiency, and revolutionize fluid transport systems.

High-Speed Flow Phenomena

Analyzing shockwaves and turbulence to optimize performance, improve stability, and advance high-speed aerodynamic systems.

Our Research Approach

We design unique experimental setups – from a turbulent water channel for bubble drag reduction studies to a transonic cascade tunnel for high-speed flow analysis. Classical measurement techniques alongside laser-based diagnostics (like PIV and high-speed visualization) are employed to gain deep insights.
