Research Interests

Flow around airfoil NACA0012
Although initially trained as a pure mathematician, my real passion has migrated to applied sciences. I have been experimenting with classic numerical methods: Finite Difference, Finite Volume and Finite Element Methods. My real expertise lies, however, on Interface Tracking Method and the modelling of the physical phenomena on the interface. I am among the early pioneers who worked out independently a second order Volume of Fluid (VOF) method, a very popular interface tracking method nowadays. I have also worked on:

Computational Methods

• Adaptive Moving Mesh Generator
• Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian Methods

Fluid Mechanics

• Inkjet Printing
• Multiphase Flows
• Non-Newtonian Fluid Flows
• Surfactant Problem
• Fluid-Structure Interaction.
