Summary
I am a researcher in fluid mechanics and applied mathematics, currently working at Imperial College London, Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Novel Reservoir and Simulation group (NORMS).
My current research in the NORMS group focuses on the development of unstructured adaptive mesh modelling techniques for density dependent flow and solute transport in complex porous media. Applications include saline intrusion in coastal aquifers and large scale copper transport in sedimentary basins.
Research interests
Over the past few years, I have worked on theoretical and numerical issues in fluid mechanics, with applications to different physical problems.
My research interests include:
- stochastic models in fluid mechanics, turbulent particle dispersion dynamics; applications to atmospheric flows
- unstructured adaptive mesh modelling for density-dependent flow and scalar transport in complex porous media; applications to saline intrusion into coastal aquifers and large scale copper transport in sedimentary basins
- lattice Boltzmann methods for the moving boundary problem; applications to aerodynamics and aeroacoustics
