Research interests are :

  • Planetary boundary layers, environmental flows, fluid mechanics.
  • Turbulent mixing, shear- and buoyancy-driven flows, entrainment.
  • Clouds, latent heat effects, micro-physical effects.
  • Turbulent reacting flows.
  • Computational fluid dynamics, numerical methods, high-performance computing.
