Specialized Area
Wind turbine, bluff body aerodynamics, wind load on structures and its control, fluid-structure interactions, flow-induced vibrations, aero- and hydroelasticity,
dynamics, nonlinear dynamics, signal analysis and computational fluid dynamics. This research is related to and is of interest to the power-generating industry,
building engineering, offshore mechanics, and the aeronautical industry; but other components of the research are longer-term, fundamental investigations, with no
immediate industrial motivation. In terms of practical applications, this research is related to building aerodynamics, wind-turbine and aircraft engineering, risers in the oil and gas industry, nuclear reactors, piping and towed underwater vehicles and so on.
Research Direction
Flow control around an airfoil to increase aerodynamic performance,Fluid dynamics around two cylinders of different diameters,Galloping generation mechanism of two tandem circular cylinders of identical diameter,Flow-induced instability of two tandem circular cylinders of different diameters,Streamwise vibration response of two square cylinders in side-by-side arrangement,Turbulence control over an axial flow cylinder,Improvement of aerodynamic performance and wing stability of UAVs, MAVs and wind turbines,Fluid dynamic stability of micro-satellite, andFluid dynamics around rocket.
