Research area

My principal research interests lie in the fields of Hydraulic Engineering and Research, Eco-hydraulics, Etho-hydraulics, Fluid Mechanics, Environmental Fluid Mechanics, River and lake Limnology, and Biomechanics with particular focus on:

• Upstream and Downstream Fish Migrations

• Hydro-abrasion on hydraulic structures, bypass tunnels and turbines

• Sediment transport i.e. bed-load, suspended load in super-critical open-channel flow

• Reservoir sedimentation

• Fluid Mechanics, Environmental Fluid Mechanics, River and lake Limnology

• Large and small scale turbulence structures in open-channel flow

• Hydraulic instrumentation and measurement techniques (ADV, ADVP, ADCP, Large & small scale PIV, stereoscopic and panoramic PIV, High-speed imaging, PTV, Drag Force Measurement Techniques, Geophones)
