Shashank Reddy S

“My work includes modelling the dispersed phase in moist turbulent jets such as cough/speech flows and performing DNS studies to access the probability of viral infection through respiratory activities.  The model includes solving the moment transport equations of the secondary phase using DQMOM and CQMOM.”

Yash Naiwar

My primary research interests are “Transition and Turbulent flows”. I seek the growth of turbulent spots within the boundary layer as the transition takes place from Laminar to Turbulent. My research is towards the experimental techniques to detect the growth of these turbulent spots.
