I am interested in studying multiphase flows in turbulence. To this end, I have investigated mixing, phase-separation and interfacial phenomena in turbulence using High Performance Computing (HPC) and Direct Numerical Simulations, and turbulence closure models. Currently, I am interested in applying the turbulence theories and models to study real systems, e.g., global oceans. In this regard, I am studying the impact of tidal mixing on the transport properties such as the net heat flux using Earth System Models. The tidal force is a major driver of ocean currents, and ocean currents drive global climate change. I am interested in studying the effect of ocean hydrodynamics on ocean thermodynamics, and the ocean radiation properties (such as solar reflectivity).
