Time-dependent and three-dimensional distribution of fluid velocities and transported properties are required in a range of applications. However, generating such data through experiments has always been a challenge. Conventional probe-based techniques are intrusive in nature and are restricted to providing volume-averaged data only at a few select points. Time constants associated with such probes limit their applications in highly transient phenomena . Focus of our research group is to overcome this barrier of 3D unsteady whole field measurements using advanced measurement techniques that are completely inertia-free and non-intrusive. Experiments are complemented by numerical simulations. Some of the areas wherein the group has made significant impact include high heat flux management systems, nanofluids, two-phase heat transfer, coupled heat and mass transfer, droplets/interfaces and bio-heat transfer.

The group comprises of some of the highly motivated PhD and M.Tech scholars, post-doctoral fellows and project staff working in areas such as two-phase heat transfer, droplets/interfacial heat transfer, double-diffusive transport phenomena, bio-heat transfer, heat transfer enhancement. Our research findings have been published in over 120 articles in leading international journals, which include Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Physics of Fluids, International journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Scientific Reports-Nature etc. The impact made by the group is the result of dedicated and sincere efforts of about 12 PhD students, close to 50 M.Tech students and post-doctoral fellows. These students are now well placed in leading academic institutions (IITs, NITs) and R&D sectors.
