Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Statistics
  • Groundwater

His primary areas of investigation include Soil science, Soil water, Groundwater, Porous medium and Geotechnical engineering. His work on Hydraulic conductivity as part of general Soil science study is frequently connected to Water flow, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Tissa H. Illangasekare interconnects Water table and Water content in the investigation of issues within Soil water.

His studies deal with areas such as Mass transfer, Mineralogy, Pollution and Dissolution as well as Groundwater. His study in Porous medium is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nanoparticle and Chemical engineering. His Geotechnical engineering research incorporates themes from Mechanics and Flow.

His most cited work include:

  • Particle Size Distribution, Concentration, and Magnetic Attraction Affect Transport of Polymer-Modified Fe 0 Nanoparticles in Sand Columns (243 citations)
  • A review of NAPL source zone remediation efficiency and the mass flux approach. (207 citations)
  • Experimental study of movement and distribution of dense organic contaminants in heterogeneous aquifers (155 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Soil science, Geotechnical engineering, Mechanics, Aquifer and Porous medium. His Soil science research integrates issues from Mass transfer, Dissolution, Water content and Groundwater. His work carried out in the field of Groundwater brings together such families of science as Contamination and Environmental engineering.

The Geotechnical engineering study combines topics in areas such as Mathematical model, Gravity and Drainage. His work on Multiphase flow, Two-phase flow and Flow as part of general Mechanics research is often related to Hysteresis, thus linking different fields of science. His research in Aquifer intersects with topics in Hydraulic conductivity, Plume and Petroleum engineering.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Soil science (20.26%)
  • Geotechnical engineering (20.26%)
  • Mechanics (19.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Aquifer (18.33%)
  • Mechanics (19.61%)
  • Soil science (20.26%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Aquifer, Mechanics, Soil science, Porous medium and Petroleum engineering. He has researched Aquifer in several fields, including Carbon dioxide and Flow. His Mechanics research includes elements of Geotechnical engineering and Capillary action.

His research integrates issues of Groundwater, Environmental engineering, Moisture and Water content in his study of Soil science. Tissa H. Illangasekare has included themes like Mass transfer and Thermodynamics in his Porous medium study. His Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology, Airflow and Boundary value problem.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Twenty-three unsolved problems in hydrology (UPH)–a community perspective (144 citations)
  • Study of the effect of wind speed on evaporation from soil through integrated modeling of the atmospheric boundary layer and shallow subsurface. (58 citations)
  • Experimental study on effects of geologic heterogeneity in enhancing dissolution trapping of supercritical CO2 (53 citations)

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

  • Thermodynamics
  • Statistics
  • Groundwater

Tissa H. Illangasekare mostly deals with Aquifer, Mechanics, Geotechnical engineering, Porous medium and Capillary action. The various areas that Tissa H. Illangasekare examines in his Aquifer study include Soil science, Petroleum engineering, Carbon sequestration, Flow and Water content. The study incorporates disciplines such as Thermal and Environmental engineering in addition to Soil science.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Evaporation and Thermodynamics. In his research on the topic of Geotechnical engineering, Spatial correlation and Caprock is strongly related with Supercritical fluid. His Capillary action study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Buoyancy, Plume, Permeability and Capillary pressure.
