About

Dr Rajaram Lakkaraju is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur-India. He obtained PhD for the work on boiling turbulent Rayliegh-Benard convection using HPC simulations from Physics of Fluids University of Twente, The Netherlands, in 2013. Prior to that, he obtained an MS in fluid dynamics for the work on Buoyancy shear flows from the Engineering Mechanics Unit, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR)-Bangalore, India, in 2007. Our research expertise includes

Multi-phase flows
HPC simulations of turbulent multi-phase flows with applications relevant for nature-inspired and industrial reactors. Mainly, simulations for Boiling, Cavitation, Drops and Particles using Eulerian, Lagrangian, Lattice-Boltzmann, SPH and Population balance techniques.

Transition and Turbulent flows
Fundamental understanding of laminar and turbulent flow transition and thermal convection using CPUs and GPUs

Modelling in geophysical flows
Upper ocean surface dynamics, gas exchange, oil spill dispersion, methane plume dispersion, pollutant transport in the atmosphere, high-order computation of nonlinear ocean waves

Machine learning of complex systems
