Research
I study unsteady flows next to moving bodies, walls and interfaces, using volumetric optical diagnostics, refractive-index matching and pressure reconstruction, and I build the facilities and methods these measurements need.
Each project has its own page with an overview, figures and the papers behind it.
Boundary-aware reconstruction
LE-DM turns scattered particle tracks into velocity fields that respect moving solid boundaries.
Freely moving bodies
Flow around spheres rising under buoyancy, imaged in 3D through a refractive-index-matched liquid.
Dynamic stall
Flow, pressure and aerodynamic loads on a pitching airfoil from stereo PIV and pressure integration.
Shock-driven flows
Shock waves expanding through abrupt area changes, studied in a 7 m shock tube I built.
Single-camera 3D PIV
3D velocity fields from one camera, using an engineered point-spread function and deep learning.
Turbulent pipe expansions
How an abrupt or gradual expansion reorganizes turbulence and coherent-structure transport in pipe flow.
Flow over protrusions
How the length and rear-face angle of a surface-mounted protrusion shape separation and turbulence.
Liquid–gas interfaces
Interface deformation around floating particles of complex shape, mapped by laser-sheet scanning.
uPrime software
Open-source app and Python package for turbulence analysis of PIV and CFD data.
Facilities I built
Shock tube, water tunnels, refractive-index-matched tomographic PTV and an interface scanner.
