We as a research group have the expertise in experimental and theoretical fluid dynamics. We work primarily in unsteady flow problems in incompressible and compressible regime using Flow visualization and modern optical measurement methods such as PIV, PLIF and BOS. To unravel mysteries in fundamental fluid mechanics the active area of research are Biomimicry, Instability and transition in shear flows, circular and non-circular vortex rings and cylones. In the developmental front we address issues related to measurement system such as tomographic BOS, efficient aerodynamic designs using biomimicry, Flapping Wing UAV and developing environment friendly novel wind turbines

Curiosity driven research is our passion and need based developemnt is our philosophy. Our group brings together curious people from different geographical and cultural backgrounds. We value creativity, honesty, passion, and collaboration and we endeavor to provide a welcoming and inclusive work environment to tackle some of the challenging research and development problems together.
