Projects

IRG ongoing projects:
In low Reynolds number hydrodynamics: 

  • A Flow Model for the Settling Velocity of Plane Aggregates of Identical Spheres in Creeping Motion.
  • A Flow Model for the Settling Velocity of three dimensional Aggregates of Identical Spheres in Creeping Motion.
  • A Solution for Stokes Paradox and Other Slender Bodies.
  • Orientation and Stability of Rotation of Settling Particles and Aggregates.
  • Design of Experiments for Settling Phenomena.

In other fields:

  • Morphology model for clay particles for use in engineering.
  • Permeability.
  • Study of the fluid dynamics about a moving sphere in the kinetic regime
Independent Research Group Uptake (IRGU)
Ongoing projects:
