Meteorology, Mechanics, Turbulence, Reynolds number and Stratified flow are his primary areas of study. His Meteorology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Terrain and Atmospheric sciences. His work carried out in the field of Atmospheric sciences brings together such families of science as Urban heat island and Mesoscale meteorology.
His Mechanics research focuses on Optics and how it connects with Kinetic energy. His Turbulence study incorporates themes from Internal wave and Mixed layer. Harindra J. S. Fernando combines subjects such as Cylinder, Froude number, Drag coefficient and Dimensionless quantity with his study of Reynolds number.
Harindra J. S. Fernando spends much of his time researching Turbulence, Mechanics, Meteorology, Buoyancy and Atmospheric sciences. His studies deal with areas such as Mixed layer and Boundary layer as well as Turbulence. His Mechanics research includes themes of Optics and Classical mechanics.
His work investigates the relationship between Meteorology and topics such as Terrain that intersect with problems in Atmospheric model. The various areas that Harindra J. S. Fernando examines in his Buoyancy study include Convection and Entrainment. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Wind speed, Stratification and Heat flux.
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Turbulence, Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences, Mechanics and Wind speed. His Turbulence research integrates issues from Scaling and Boundary layer. His Meteorology research focuses on subjects like Flow, which are linked to Dispersion, Canyon and Buoyancy.
Harindra J. S. Fernando has included themes like Large eddy simulation, Stratification, Bathymetry and Heat flux in his Atmospheric sciences study. His work on Stratified flows as part of general Mechanics research is frequently linked to Mixing, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His study in the field of Atmospheric instability also crosses realms of Power law.
His primary scientific interests are in Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Atmospheric model and Flow. The study of Meteorology is intertwined with the study of Scaling in a number of ways. His research integrates issues of Wind speed and Boundary layer in his study of Atmospheric sciences.
The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Urban heat island and Oceanography. His study in Flow is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dispersion, Canyon and Buoyancy. His Planetary boundary layer study is concerned with the field of Turbulence as a whole.
