Applied and Computational Mathematics Research Group.
Research Interests
I am an applied mathematician and engineer. My research focus lies in the area of fluid dynamics and nonlinear phenomena. Specifically, it is concerned with studying “acoustic–gravity waves” - an emerging field that is rapidly gaining popularity among the scientific community, as it finds broad utility in mathematical physics, physical oceanography, quantum analogs, multiphase flows, wave power harnessing, and marine biology, addressing most challenging questions with high impact on science and society.

Research
Acoustic-Gravity Waves
Acoustic-gravity waves (AGW) are compression-type waves propagating with amplitudes governed by the restoring force of gravity. They are generated, by wind-wave interactions, surface wave interactions, and movements of the tectonic lithosphere plates; they can be found in the oceans, rivers, and even in hydraulic systems and flow pipelines. Employing AGW we can explain various natural phenomena, and identify a great potential for early detection of severe sea states, including tsunami, rogue waves, storms, and ice-quakes, as well as various other industrial applications. I am studying the fundamental aspects of the generation, propagation, and interaction of AGW, theoretically, preparing the ground for the current ongoing experiments and field observations, with applications in:
- Early detection of Tsunami
- Deep water transportation
- Quantum Analogs
- Multiphase Flow
