Research Statement
Dr. Madhusudanan’s research centers on the modelling of turbulent fluid flows, with the overarching goal of obtaining reduced-order (i.e. low-rank) models for these dynamic systems. The computational efficiency of such models holds the potential for a range of practical applications. Additionally, the process of obtaining such models involves filtering out crucial flow mechanisms from the overall complexity of the flow. While refining our models, this process also enhances our understanding of the governing flow mechanisms.
In this work, a diverse array of techniques is employed to construct these models, encompassing equation-based techniques such as linear and non-linear modelling, as well as data-driven techniques such as proper orthogonal decomposition, dynamic mode decomposition, wavelet analysis, and more. Recent projects undertaken by Dr. Madhusudanan involve using reduced-order models to understand turbulent flows impacted by different real-world physical mechanisms, including but not limited to rotation, stratification, boundary conditions.
