Research Interests:

• Computational Fluid Dynamics,
• Computational Aeroacoustics,
• Jet Engine Noise,
• Wind Energy
• Computational study of Off Design Dual-Stream Nozzle and Nacelle aerodynamics and aeroacoustics using high fidelity methods. Concerning take-off and cruise conditions for Ultra High Bypass Ratio Turbofans to predict noise and flow separation.
• Computational study of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine aerodynamics, including the validation and creation of CFD techniques using both URANS and WMLES. Concerning the modelling of dynamic stall at low wind speeds but high rotational speeds, and their effect on modelling simulation and performance.
