Research Work:

My research work is as below.

• Numerical Simulation of open channel flows i.e. in River Engineering.
• Experimental Investigation of 3D open channel flow fields under different flow and geometric conditions.
• Study of flow behaviour due to the existance of various hydraulic structures(Bridge piers, Weirs, Spillways, Obstructions etc).
