Research interests
High-temperature thermal-fluid systems
Conjugate heat transfer in high-temperature passages
How heat transfer changes when flow acceleration, wall conduction, external losses and hardware constraints all matter at once.
Deposit formation and surface-condition effects
How coke, deposits, roughness or oxide layers alter thermal resistance and wall temperature in propulsion and power-generation hardware.
Thermal resistance decomposition
Separating bulk-flow, near-wall, conduction and surface-condition effects so that CFD/CHT results become interpretable rather than just visual.
Experimental validation under high-temperature constraints
Measurement-chain design, sensor selection, uncertainty, commissioning and the practical limits of validating models when hardware access is limited.
Predictive maintenance indicators
Using simulation and measurement signals to detect thermal degradation before it becomes a component-life or refurbishment problem.
Numerical methods for thermal-fluid systems
Finite-volume modelling, near-wall treatment, turbulence model sensitivity, mesh independence and the discipline of knowing what a simulation can and cannot claim.
