Work mainly in the area of internal combustion engines (thermal engineering). Fields of interest are on:

• In-cylinder flow analysis of four-stroke and two-stroke IC engines using PIV.


• Experimental and CFD analysis of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) and gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines.


• Alternate fuels like hydrogen, biogas, alcohol, biodiesel, ethers, vegetable oils, plastic oil.


• The CFD analysis of various engines and processes. Also, on low temperature combustion (LTC) in diesel engines.


• Now working on the CFD analysis of water injection in the HCCI and GDI engines under various engine configurations and operating conditions.


• Also on the analysis of laser ignition and the combination of PFI and GDI engines in spark ignition engines.
