What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Mechanics (50.17%)
  • Pulmonary surfactant (15.50%)
  • Marangoni effect (9.67%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Mechanics, Pulmonary surfactant, Marangoni effect, Dynamics and Chemical physics. In his study, Vorticity is inextricably linked to Surface tension, which falls within the broad field of Mechanics. Many of his studies on Pulmonary surfactant involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Breakup.

The Marangoni effect study combines topics in areas such as Evaporation and Instability. His Dynamics study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Falling. His Chemical physics study incorporates themes from Wetting, Nanopore and Nucleation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Impact of droplets on immiscible liquid films. (25 citations)
  • Bulk viscosity of molecular fluids (24 citations)
  • A reduced order model for turbulent flows in the urban environment using machine learning (23 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanics
  • Mechanical engineering

His main research concerns Mechanics, Marangoni effect, Computational fluid dynamics, Flow and Surface tension. His work deals with themes such as Thin film and Pulmonary surfactant, which intersect with Mechanics. His Pulmonary surfactant study deals with Nanotechnology intersecting with Molecular dynamics.

His Marangoni effect research incorporates themes from Evaporation, Substrate, Falling and Dynamics. His study in Flow is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dynamic contact, Transient growth, Vorticity and Temperature gradient. His Surface tension research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Direct numerical simulation, Drop, Computer simulation and Polygon mesh.
