- Current Research Interests
Key words: Fluid dynamics, rheology, complex fluids, viscoplastic fluids,
hydrodynamic instabilities, thermal convection, heat transfer.
Topics/objectives: Investigate the influence of the fluid physical properties (shearthinning, yield stress) on the onset of instabilities.
Methods: Stability analyses (linear, non-linear, energy approaches).
Experimental approaches (PIV, shadowgraph technics).
